<p>If you can, just visit both (assuming she gets into GT) and pick the one that she feels most comfortable with. They are similar in both price and quality, not so much in atmosphere.</p>

<p>If her primary goal is MD school, and she gets into the Stony Brook 7-year MD program, then that seems to be the obvious choice, with much lower cost (for both undergraduate and MD school, since you are in-state for NY) and a lower bar to entry into medical school (it requires just a 3.2 BCPM GPA and 3.4 overall GPA (3.2 if engineering major) and national average MCAT scores with 8+ on each section to stay in the 7-year MD program – compare to higher GPA and MCAT baselines needed just to get MD school interviews with no assurance of admission).</p>

<p>I don’t understand the question? Why do you have to select one? She still has outstanding applications? What are you asking?</p>
