Cornell vs U of Chicago vs Rice

Applying to College

<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>Heard UChicago premed was ridiculously hard. You might want to verify on the UChicago forum.</p>

<p>UChicago has the hardest undergrad curriculum in the US.</p>

<p>go to Rice, I’ve heard some really good things about their pre-med</p>

<p>You can get into Med school as long as you have these factors: high gpa, high science gpa, and High MCAT score. If its between Cornell and Rice, then go to a school you feel most comfortable with. Being a senior in college, I understand now how important it is to surround yourself with students you can see yourself getting along with. Visit each of those schools again, meet with the pre-health advisor, meet with the pre-med clubs, visit the chem/orgo/bio classes and really experience which school would offer you a better value in education. Find out which university has either grade inflation/deflation. SPeak to the students in those pre-med classes, ask what the Professor curves the average to ( either a C or B usually). In my opinion, go to a school that , obviously, will give you a better grade for the average, especially when both schools, such as Cornell and Rice are great institutions.</p>

<p>I feel like you’d enjoy life most at Rice. It’s totally unlike the environment at Cornell or UChicago. Just my two cents.</p>
