<p>I need help, I’m totally lost as to where I should go. I am posting this exact message in a few places.</p>
<li><p>USC Bacc/MD, biochem major, guaranteed acceptance to Keck. But I would work to apply out.</p></li>
<li><p>Dartmouth, biochem major</p></li>
</ol>
<p>At either school, I would work hard, volunteer, research, etc.</p>
<p>Thus, question is, would going to Dartmouth give me an advantage that wouldn’t be present at USC?</p>
