<p>i'm trying to decide between ursinus and lehigh right now and i'm not really sure what to do. I've been accepted to both with a $18,000 scholarship to Ursinus and only 5600 grant at Lehigh. I was waitlisted at Hopkins but I think I'll keep my name on the list and send in more recs and a letter. I know Ursinus is known for their sciences and pre-med program (90% acceptance rate to med school) but Lehigh does have a well-known name and good sciences. I want to major in Neuroscience as an undergrad and go to med school. any advice? i don't know what to do.</p>
<p>I’m choosing between the two schools now too! But I’m undecided now and leaning either towards pharmaceutical engineering or marine/animal sciences so I don’t know too much about premed or neuroscience but I know Ursinus is a really good choice for these, i’ve heard numerous times the college is great for these majors, and haven’t heard too much about the Lehigh program. Lehigh is better for engineering and physics. Ursinus is rated 10 points higher in the Princeton Review for academics over Lehigh. I feel like Ursinus is underrated, and really is a good school, but I personally like Lehigh’s environment better. Both have a lot of opportunities for research, but I’ve heard of people getting better opportunities at Lehigh (I know some people who were able to get their names on products they helped developed and they were only sophomores). Anyway, I can’t really give you a definite choice since I don’t have one either, but I hope some of this helps. </p>
<p>If you decided before May 1 do you think you could post on here or message me where you picked and why? I need some help too haha.</p>
<p>Fit and cost should be the deciding factors; is one drastically more affordable? Is there one you see yourself being happier or more comfortable at?</p>
<p>Don’t rely on meaningless statistics like medical school acceptance rate (and I’d definitely steer clear of Princeton Review’s academic point rating system, whatever that is). Also, I always hear high school seniors talking about “good science programs” or “strong in the sciences”; note that these things don’t mean much, if anything, for you as an undergraduate.</p>
