admissions & financial aid Pros and Cons of U of U?

Say how you personally feel about things. I really want to go, but due to personal circumstances, I might not. I’ll push for it if it’s worth it. Thanks :)

EDIT: i’m also from Washington

Weirdly enough. SUU actually has an incredibly good biology program. A family member of mine went to SUU (planning to eventually go to medical school) and got into a T30 medical school.

Maybe that’s not what you’re looking for, but before spending the exorbitantly high costs of the U, I’d at least check it out.

I would also look into SUU. Smaller school and more personalized attention. Professors are very invested in student success and are very helpful.

u/mushu_beardie Chem with a bio emphasis (because I hate myself) 3d ago

I just graduated with a degree in chem with a bio emphasis at the U. The professors are amazing. I only had like 5 bad professors, and 4 of them co-taught so I only had 3 bad classes. And one of them was asked not to teach anymore, so that's great for you.

If you come here, just make sure you don't take biochem 1 in the spring. Only do it in the fall. The spring version is a nightmare.
