I asked you to weigh in on my current options. Not provide me with a new one, it’s clear you cannot follow simple directions. I love learning and want to study genetics and do research, going to college IS USEFUL.

Nothing says "Take me seriously" like beginning a sentence with lol.

Weigh in. You've said weight twice leading me to believe you don't know the difference.

I’m 17… I didn’t ask to be taken seriously I just want an opinion bc I don’t know everything about everything jeez

I read through your whole dissertation up there. I think you should move to New Jersey.

you say you love learning, yet you skip this opportunity to do so? being serious, if you are into genetics SF Bay has a large biotech hub and USF would connect you to opportunities there. considering it also is supporting your costs you should certainly consider it.

sounds to me like you wanna be in nyc!

Yeah originally but SF is high competition lol they are both highly alluring cities

I see, thank you.

What's your end goal? The nyc schools are both mid, and would not help your job prospects (or for med school). MD or NJ schools sounds more appealing

You weren’t seriously asking for advice?

No I was asking for opinions based on my options. Advice is more open ended than what I was looking for. Rn dropping out isn’t an option, neither is it something I was to hear.

End goal is to get an MDPhD degree rather than med school so doing a lot of research during undergrad, to eventually then become a Surgeon, with a PhD in research.

So you were asking for opinions but you weren’t asking to be taken seriously? How do I know you actually want people’s opinions?

This dude commented that in the attempt to belittle me please don’t be dense. My use of slang doesn’t take away from the fact I needed ppl to weigh in. I wrote like 2 paragraphs I think that’s serious enough. I am a 17 year old girl needing a few opinions. It’s really never that deep

Wherever you go, make sure to work hard on improving your writing.

I have done friends doing a MDPhD, very ambitious. Your school will matter a lot, so I don't recommend Pace or NY Tech at all. If you can get into NYU, it's much better

Can you look into any of your other schools will let you do a semester exchange at a nyc school for a semester? It might be a nice compromise

I’ve written countless of research papers at a high school level the longest being 45 pages, in which I was analyzing protein synthesis. I am currently writing one about the plausibility of editing a human embryo to have a heterogenous advantage against malaria using Cas 9 Crispr. Im looking for this to later be published. I currently intern at the NIH and at Labcorp. On a subreddit i will not be using professional grammar because it quite frankly doesn’t warrant that. I will not be belittled for using causal grammar in a casual space. Don’t try and lecture me, when you haven’t a single ounce of knowledge when it comes to my intellectual level. Remove the log out of your eye before you belittle me for the spec in mine. I won’t be pushed around by some Reddit geezer looking to troll people to make them feel better about their miserable lives :>

But you will be belittled for using causal grammar.

I don’t think I care in all honesty. I asked a question because I’m only 17 and I need ppl to lmk what’s up. I’m not standing before a panel of Hopkins graduates. Mind you lol isn’t shitty grammar. As I have said I’m literally a teenager I know when to use lol and when not to. We’re not idiots

You’re literally a teenager?

Yep I’m literally just a teen. If you see issue with that my apologies????? I guess

Literally?

Get a life HAHA

Should I literally get a life?

Thank you I got deferred from NYU sadly but also thankfully because NYUs tuition is exorbitant. I will look into that thank you very much!

as someone who’s lived in both, I can tell u imo SF is pretty shitty nowadays. If you’re looking for exciting city living, SF isn’t really it. SF is ruled by obnoxious tech bros so there’s little diversity, income disparities are more glaring and the housing/homelessness crisis is outta control, there’s very few museums, the trains don’t run 24/7, etc… the main positive of SF is proximity to redwoods/nature/pacific ocean.

again just imo but that’s what u asked for right?
