<p>Out of Columbia, Harvard, Williams, and Spelman, you're not going to have much trouble getting into med school at all. Columbia and Harvard will give you the fast-paced, urban and impersonal education, while Williams and Spelman will give you a more tight-knit community.</p>
<p>Go to Harvard or Williams. Spelman isn't as good or as diverse as either one.</p>
<p>Harvard Yard FTW</p>
<p>There is no such thing as a pre-med program and the med school has NOTHING to do with the undergrad. I cannot emphasize this more, having Tuck around at Dartmouth meant nothing. My interaction with undergrads as an MBA student at Columbia was zilch. </p>
<p>Show me who besides WashU says they have the "2nd best pre-med program." Pre-med is 8 semesters of 4 subjects. That's it. Having Biology resources is much more helpful, and you get that anywhere. A thesis with your professor at Williams will go alot farther than the presence of WashU's medical facility that you'll never really be exposed to.</p>
<p>okay, so I chose Harvard....</p>
<p>Have fun at the big H.</p>
<p>thanks........</p>
<p>I think you'll do well at Harvard, and I think you'll fit in much better than you might expect. My D is an '09. It is a very open and accepting place. The challenges are real and exciting. A lot of top black kids will go to HBC schools. How many will go to Harvard? Be a leader.</p>

<p>Good luck at Havard!</p>
<p>^^
a lil bit late..</p>
<p>congrats on your decision, are you still going to the multicultural weekend at wash u though, i'm going also but have sorta committed somehwere else but can't cancel</p>
<p>Like you hadn't decided on Haahvad all alone. gl.</p>
<p>mssales, i actually hadn't decided Harvard when i made this thread. i was mostly torn between Columbia and Spelman. but my parents and other family members made it clear that I may get extremely distracted at Spelman whereas i would not at Harvard or Columbia.</p>
<p>what? how would you get distracted?</p>
<p>well, i'm not gonna lie, i love to party/i'm slightly boy-crazy. and with Spelman's location within Atlanta and the all boys school across the street, I may not have been able to focus.</p>
<p>It was a joke. Also there won't be any attractive smart guys at Harvard, to distract you?</p>
<p>my parents think that in the harvard atmosphere it will be easier to concentrate. (i.e. being in an environment where everyone strives to do their best at Harvard or being in an environment where all some people do is party like at Spelman).</p>
<p>and, i'm not anticipating that the harvard boys are anywhere near the hotness level of the morehouse boys, but if they are even marginally close then that'll do.</p>
<p>I suppose.</p>
<p>hooray for harvard yard! congrats again</p>
<p>thanks spetsnaz.</p>
