Lets hypothetically say that I was accepted into Harvard, Princeton, Yale, AND Stanford for major in biology/pre-med. What would you choose and why?
P.S. The reason I’m doing this is to narrow down colleges for my first-choice
<p>Princeton, because of these four schools, it places the least emphasis on graduate students has the smallest undergraduate student body.</p>
<p>PRINCETON!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Haavahd... who knows.. maybe it will help your harvard medical school admission by factor of .01</p>
<p>Stanford. I just like it better.</p>
<p>I would take a gap year to savour the accomplishment. Once you enroll at one of these schools it doesn't matter where else you were accepted.</p>
<p>I thought maybe u guys would offer some explanations as not everyone thinks alike. I'M SO CONFUSED!</p>
<p>There all so alike... All I can say is that, if you wanna get into Harvard Med, then DO NOT go into Harvard Pre-Med and that Stanford is supposedly the "most fun" and has the best "college/social life" of the four.</p>
<p>I would be happy just to get into ONE of those schools.</p>
<p>Princeton - best teaching, preppiest though they are trying to become more intellectual, most suburban
Harvard - best city/surroundings, most TAs (they can be really brilliant though), most prestigious (yeah, it's a toss-up, but gotta go with Harvard there)
Yale - more teaching than Harvard, New Haven's not as bad as some say, yeah I'm a little prejudiced against it though
Stanford - better weather, less than stellar (looking) girls, more intense than 'it's California' might make you think</p>
<p>I've thought about all of them and would probably do Harvard, though a lot of people love Yale (Columbia may end up my #1 though)</p>

<p>Want to back this major statement up with - I don't know - something akin to a REASON? </p>
<p>The number one feeder school for Harvard Med is.. you guessed it.. Harvard College! Take that for what you will...</p>
<p>Harvard is the most prestigious university in the world, and almost 80% of accepted students enroll.</p>
<p>visit and see which one feels better to you. You may not like New Haven, or Cambridge or the suburbs of Princeton and Palo Alto. OTOH, you may find New Haven exactly what you're looking for.</p>
<p>But, when in doubt, go for grade inflation -- never hurts to go to a school where nearly everyone graduates with honors, so H or S.</p>
<p>I'd probably go to a local community college if I was accepted into all of those...Actually, I'd probably just become a bum on the street and have a sign that says "your mom goes to college, so buy some brownies"</p>
