<p>What about social life? Do you want a school that’s more studious, or one where students work hard and play harder? Sports fan or not? Large student body or small? etc.</p>
<p>EDIT: I always have a hard time recommending schools for pre-med kids. In my mind, engineering and biology are the same thing, and all my favorite schools aren’t really known for science programs of any kind. That said, have you considered Carnegie Mellon or Case Western? I think you’d likely get into both if your stats turn out as you expect them to. Obviously they’re a bit more Midwest than East Cost, but even so, Pittsburgh and Cleveland are pretty big cities.</p>
