<p>I got into both Berkeley and Cornell and I am wondering which school is better for premed. It seems like both schools grade their students pretty harshly and that really hurts students' chances for medical schools : </p>
<p>People please give me some advices!!</p>
<p>also, Berkeley is giving my full ride (almost $26,000/year) yet Cornell's financial aid packet hasn't arrived yet.</p>
<p>Let us know when the Cornell package comes in and we'll be better able to chat about it then. Both are academically fine schools with pretty different feels, but full tuition is never an easy offer to turn down unless Cornell can some up with something comparable.</p>
<p>For the record, I turned down UCLA despite a much better tuition situation there including a merit scholarship. So I'm not saying you should always follow the money -- just that it's an important piece of information to talk about once it comes in.</p>
