<p>Sorry for multiple posts on the forums but this is the dilemma I have..
Cornell (17k) U of Chicago (29k) Rice (16k).</p>

<p>I'm personally thinking about Rice and Cornell. I'm going into premed/chemistry. Which school would help me get into med school better? I know theres the acceptance rate but thats not a good factor. Any input would be nice. I personally don't mind the weather/location/size. I'm just worried about internships/medical ec's/prestige (even though it probably doesn't matter a lot)/ gpa. Which school would be the best for me?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Where you from? the North or South?</p>

<p>If you from the North, go to Rice</p>

<p>If you from the south, go to Cornell.</p>

<p>I would have gone to Cornell hands down, because I lived 45 mins. away from Rice for 6 years.</p>

<p>Forget about location (unless you are very concerned with where you are) most premeds I know don’t really care where the location is. They care about if they can get into medical school (#1) then they care if they can get into a good one. Supposedly cornell is tough and that doesnt help with GPA. Its average is 3.4, which is similar to a lot of places but ppl at cornell work very hard apparently. </p>

<p>TBH I myself am not sure about Cornell, but I’d choose it over rice.</p>

<p>If you don’t like cold weather, go to Rice.</p>

<p>As a UChicago student, I’d advise against going there as a pre-med. While I know people who have done obscenely well, it’s extremely tough.</p>

<p>The opportunities for medically-related EC’s, undergrad research, etc. are the greatest at Rice. Rice is a small school that is across the street from the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world.</p>
