<p>MYthreesons and everyone else</p>
<p>thank you for the advice so far. </p>
<p>Older bro is at Michigan and yes the football games dominate in the fall (even though they were miserable this year). The nightlife is very active, many parties and late night eateries. it is a small city and doesn’t seem isolated. People seem out and about even when its cold. And many wear the school apparel. I wonder if its like that at the other schools. </p>
<p>Michigan advising is a problem. He could not get an advising appt with a poli sci advisor for an entire term and ended up dropping the minor because of it. But school choice will not be based on that I think. </p>
<p>The Fiske Guide has all the schools as good for premed, so I am sure it will be excellent (and challenging) everywhere.</p>
<p>I also did not hear of WUSTL growing up in NY. But now I hear about it alot and we know kids who are very happy there. My son has friends at all 3 schools.</p>
<p>His advisor said today that they are all excellent, but he should think about going somewhere different from his brother. Not sure that’s the way to look at it. </p>
<p>Going to see WUSTL for the first time next week. But judging from the admittance package, the airfare and the welcome parents envelope with contacts, I am very impressed with the level of communication and care. All that was received from Michigan after being accepted into Honors was an email. then another email with a reminder to send in the deposit. Haven’t gotten the package from NU yet, but brother was accepted there and it wasn’t like the WUSTL package.</p>
<p>Still waiting on Cornell and Emory. It’s wonderful to have choices but very hard to decide. We like to say its about ‘fit and match’ but what if you feel you will fit in everywhere!</p>
