<p>hah thanks, i really appreciate it.</p>
<p>would you either go to a state school and start as a junior with all of credits, or go to an ivy?</p>
<p>i plan to go to med school, so i’m still debating the issue</p>
<p>No matter what they tell you, nothing tops an Ivy League education.</p>
<p>Nuff Said.</p>
<p>I disagree with Lobzz. I’ll give you that nothing matches the prestige of an Ivy League education, except maybe Oxford or Cambridge. But the educational quality is about the same at any college. But the professors there are the best in their field. But I decided against Columbia is that relatively few classes are actually taught by the professors. Those schools are research facilities and teaching undergrads is lower on their list of concerns. In my personal opinion, I woud save the money and go to Chicago or one of the non ivies, make good grades there, and then go to Harvard or Columbia medical school. Besides, people don’t look at undergraduate schools when researching their surgeon/doctor, they look at where they graduated from medical school.</p>
<p>good point</p>
<p>are grades easier to achieve at chicago rather than columbia or harvard?</p>

<p>Honestly, I don’t know greg. I think most schools are pretty similar in difficulty. You’re just buying the brand name of the ivies. I would think it would be easier. Maybe you can look and see how the average GPAs stack up. You can assume that most of those Ivy students made all A’s in high school so if the average gpa is like a 3.0, its probably pretty tough. But there is more academic diversity at Chicago so a 3.0 wouldn’t indicate a very hard schedule. But I’m sure you’ll do fine no matter where you go.</p>
<p>thanks blaken</p>
