<p>Hello,
I am going to be entering my sophomore year of college and have been accepted for transfer at BU and NEU. I am waiting to hear back from GWU and UMD. I have to decide by friday for BU and I am not sure what to do. I like both Northeastern and BU and I am leaning towards BU for their research. If anyone could let me know what they think on both schools overall and which would be best that would be great.</p>
<p>I was accepted at Brandeis.</p>
<p>Now the decision is between brandeis, bu and northeastern… Not sure what to do leaning towards bu or northeastern because they have engineering if i dont end up doing medical. But I really like the research at bu and brandeis.</p>
<p>Sounds like BU fits both your needs for engineering and research. How about the cost of each, are they similar?</p>
<p>What is your current major? What school will accept most (or all) of your credits? Keep in mind that engineering is a difficult major, and keeping a high GPA is a top priority for medical school admissions. I have also heard that BU has grade deflation, and keeping a high GPA there might be more difficult than at Northeastern or Brandeis. See if you can get in touch with current pre-med students at each university and find out their opinions.</p>
<p>Brandeis is the most expensive but only 2-3 more then northeastern and bu per year after scholarships.</p>
<p>another consideration is NEU’s coop program, which generally means a 5-year plan.</p>
<p>Brandeis is very different socially, and by location. What at Brandeis appeals to you that the others don’t have?</p>
