Confused child asks parents for help--Penn or Duke

<p>does anyone on this board know anything about or has anyone on this board had any unique experiences with the university of pennsylvania or duke? any advice for a prospective bio/history double major who wants to go pre-med? </p>

<p>btw, can anyone else imagine the titles of these threads as newspaper headlines ten years from now? </p>

<p>thanks in advance!</p>

<p>duke....better weather, better campus, laid back campus, 95+% hit rate for admission to med school.</p>

<p>Can't go wrong with academics either way. Visit both campuses, and then let the prospect decide where s/he wants to spend the next four years. The campuses have much different feel, IMO.</p>

<p>Congratulations on having some nice offers. I think that either would prepare you well for med school. I urge you to visit. The culture of either is very different than New Orleans. Also consider the weather. How much cold can you stand? :)</p>
