To start with, the Bio/Pre-Med program. I've known for most of my life that I wanted to be some sort of doctor. My father is a dentist so that path has pretty much been cut out for me my whole life. MC being such a small school allows for more individualized attention from the professors to make learning the subject matter easier. In case I don't want to be a dentist though, the acceptance rate from MC into medical school is 85%. That's a pretty good percentage. So, I'm confident in the fact that I will be fully prepared at MC to achieve whatever goals I set out to accomplish. Another deciding factor was the Christian atmosphere.
It's terribly easy to get caught up in whatever is going on around you- especially in college. The fact that MC is a Christian university does not completely diminish peer pressure by any means, but it's cuts it out much more than most non-Christian schools. While it is still hard to resist temptation, being surrounded by others who share the same faith as you makes it much easier. Also, being located in Clinton, Mississippi how much trouble can you get into?
The location of the school was probably one of the biggest deciding factors in choosing MC. Not only that it was in a small town, but it's only 2.5 hours from my house. I love my family and I didn't want to miss out on too much. I am the only daughter as well as the middle child. My older brother is 2o years old and my younger brother will be 11 in 2 weeks. At his age, my younger brother changes every time I see him and this is something that I did not want to miss out on.

Your family is similar to mine. Most of them are in the area of medicine. I find that impressive. My brother graduated from here last December with a nursing degree, and my dad is head of the health department in McComb. Well, it was nice reading your blog.
That is so funny that you and your brother have the exact same major! Good luck in that by the way, I hope you get into Med. school and all! I know you will :D
i'm also a bio/pre-med major, though you should already know that from our small group the first day. well good luck.
Thanks for reading my blog. I figured I should return the favor. That's cool that you're going into the same field(s) as your family. And that was sweet what you said about your little brother...
i decided to come to MC for a lot of the same reasons. also, it's awesome that you know exactly what you want to do. i'm still working on that.
