Biology/Pre-Med at Tufts vs. Georgetown

<p>I'm currently torn between these two. I really like Georgetown but I think since I'm studying Biology/Pre-med path, Tufts would be a better choice for me. Any advice?</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me the percentage of Tufts/Georgetown students that get accepted to Med school? </p>

<p>I haven't gotten my financial aid packages yet. I hate to say this but in the end it may just boil down to whichever college gives me more money. =/</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>I had the EXACT same decision (Georgetown and Tufts) and chose Tufts mainly because the sciences aren’t GT’s strength… Tufts has a really strong pre-med program, great advising, great support, etc.</p>

<p>Do you know harsh Tufts’ grading system is? I don’t want to sound like a person who just wants the easy way out, but I know GPA is important for med school.</p>

<p>Both great schools - I went to both (one undergrad, one grad). Both great cities (although I prefer Boston to DC for the college experience, hands down.
Yes, Tufts is very well known for pre-med and placing its students. G-town is also a great school. I think it’s a bit of splitting hairs.<br>
Bottom line: if there’s a significant difference between the FA packages you’re offered, go with the better one; if they’re close or the same, go where your gut tells you you’d have a better time.</p>

<p>IMO, it’s not all that harsh. I’ve done better in most of my classes here than I did in high school and don’t feel like I’m working any harder.</p>

In bio, as long as you understand all of the concepts well enough to be able to apply them in various ways, you will do well.</p>
