<p>I am so lucky to have gotten into these schools, and I can't really decide where to go. I want to do pre-med, and I know that I could get a great education at either one. I just don't know which to choose- any input from current students/parents would be great!</p>
<p>I'm in a similar situation .. emory vs cornell for pre-med.</p>
<p>I went to summer@brown and it was freakin amazing. . .go to Brown, go to Brown! Really nice, chill people, and College Hill is amazing. . .the ideal college environment!</p>
<p>Yeah, you were there in summer :P</p>
<p>This is incredibly biased, but I HATED Brown. I thought Providence was disgusting, and while the campus was pretty, it seemed so out of place.</p>
<p>Granted, I am from Atlanta and absolutely adore the area. Decatur is fantastic, and an Emory Medical degree is nearly superior in every way. Just based on location, I recommend Emory. Hands down.</p>
<p>brown - emory wishes it was as good
as brown. I say this because my mom is a dean of undergrad sciences at emory, and she visits these hyps/ivies and analyzes there tactics, and works on implementing them at emory. Emory isnt at browns level.</p>
<p>Take the cheapest route - med school will break the bank.</p>
<p>I have a D at Emory and a D who did Summer at Brown. I was surprised at the condition of Brown's facilities. Emory's are far superior. I know that is not the deciding factor, but just an observation. I have posted elsewhere about how happy my D is at Emory so won't here. There are real differences in the curriculum at the two schools with Brown having none and Emory having its GER. Kids differ but for my D, it helped to have the GERs b/c she took courses she may not have otherwise and ended up finding her passion. Of course you can do that at Brown, but some kids need a push out of their comfort zone or can get so excited about one area, they don't take advantage of the many opportunities at colleges. The campuses also feel very different with regard to opportunities at the grad schools. At Emory, I really liked how available lectures, research positions and professors of the various grad schools are. My D has attended conferences at the law school and at the School of Public Health and is only a sophomore. She has had profs from grad schools as profs and they have made appointments to have lunch with each student, etc. That was a nice benefit we did not anticipate and has given her good mentors to work with as she decides courses and career plans. Both great schools, in my opinion, but very different.</p>
