<p>So i need help... I don't know which school to choose! I want to study sports medecine (whether or not i want to go to medical school is yet to be decided). BU has the perfect program at their sargent college for me, the physical therapy/athletic trainer dual degree. BC doesn't have anything like that. But i also want to play varsity athletics or club rugby in university and i know that BC is probably a better choice for that, as well as the prestige that comes with the name...</p>
<p>i'm really at a loss... any help/ideas/opinions?</p>
<p>I’d go with BU for its program.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t go with BC for the sports, but I would go with BC if you have any desire to attend graduate school after undergrad. BU is widely known for grade deflation, which makes it much more difficult for you to compete for graduate admissions. Here is a NY Times article from a few years ago on the subject:</p>
<p><a href=“Can Tough Grades Be Fair Grades? - The New York Times”>Can Tough Grades Be Fair Grades? - The New York Times;
<p>Is money an issue? If not then I agree with informative that I would not make my decision based on rugby or sports. If the BU program is exactly what you want I would go to BU. </p>
<p>Well for medicine(like me) BU all the way. They are known to work their pre-meds hard but in the long run, if you cant handle a difficult pre-med, you will not survive medical school. Most pre-meds who get into medical school from BU, based on my dad(he went to a 6-year medical program) and current students, you should have a 30 MCAT and a 3.6+ Gpa, being summa cum laude wont hurt either. They do have a program which I am going to try it is called MMedic, you apply ot medical school sophmore year as a internal transfer, as long as you have a 3.7, have a 30 MCAT, you are in basically, its not as easy as it sounds of course but if you are willing ot put in the work you will do well. Good Luck with whatever you do though! BU is in the top 30 medical schools in the country so I cant see their sports medicine program being bad either.</p>
<p>BC is not really more of a “name” than BU.</p>
