Making my college decision was definitely one of the HARDEST decisions I've ever had to make in my life, and even now, there are still moments when I doubt myself. When I regret my choice. When I look back and can't help but wonder if I made the RIGHT choice.

In this video, I explain in detail why I decided to make the decision I made and provide insight into how to approach the college application process and deciding on a college.

Thank you so much for watching!

    You are right! Health related degrees don't need to go top schools unless you have less debt.

    yes!!! thank you for making a video like this! i did the same thing— i turned down upenn for a full ride from a state school. penn also would have been 90k/year for me. i just finished my freshman year at the state school and i had the best time :)

    Anthony Tang was rejected from all the ivys a few years ago. He decided to go to University of texas atAustin Business School. After 4 years at University of Texas he got into Several Ivy League Medical schools. He's now attending his 2nd year at Columbia medical school. At my Nephew Catholic Highschool in Long Island the last person who got into Harvard got into all 8 ivys. At the same time another individual down south got into all 8 ivys and he decided to take a full ride to Alabama University honor program. Well both ended up at Columbia medical school, both graduated from Columbia medical school at the exact same time, except the one who went to Alabama graduated with much less debt. The story here is everyone Journey is different. You have to do what is right for you..There is more than one way to achieve your goals 😉 BSMD LYD got into Brown PLME program and turned it down to go to Arizona BSMD Program instead because of the $$$$$$$

    You can’t go wrong with UTA, especially if you made a personal commitment to attend medical school which is a tremendous financial commitment. With some other students, the 4-year bachelor degree phase is a long time and a lot can change so it makes sense to cash in on the Ivy League opportunity upfront rather than take a chance that graduate school aspirations don’t pan out.

    Excellent choice. Cornell is a public school in the Ivy League. UT Austin is on par with Cornell.

    That's not how you fix a smoke alarm alert 🤣
  • @vrherath
    While respecting your choice and agreeing with financial concerns, 1. Not having grade inflation is not grade deflation and 2. Cornell suicide rates are not much different from other t20 schools.

    Debt is slavery. As long as there are guaranteed student loans, it's better to avoid student loans (if you can). Guaranteed student loans shift ALL THE RISK onto the student and thus, students cannot default. You made the right choice to go to UT-Austin. Great school and plenty of opportunities for you to succeed. Cheers 🍻

    How can I get into ivy league in 2025 when I have 2.62 GPA (out of 4) in my bachelor's (only because I didn't study well 🤧)? How can I improve myself in 1 drop year? Which type of internships, exams, extra courses, other stuffs should I take?plss help

    You were very smart to avoid accumulating a ton of debt as an undergraduate, plus there is too much drama occurring at those Ivy League schools. By the way, can I ask you a question.
  • @JamesJoyce12
    we called grade deflation - studying engineering - and engineers have some the highest MCAT's and acceptance rates to med school
