MIT vs. Columbia Rabi Scholar

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I was a accepted to MIT and Columbia Rabi Scholar's program. The Rabi Scholars program is for 10 selected students to be science research scholars, where you get research stipends and funding. I was wondering which one should I choose. MIT obviously has a better reputation and is oriented towards the sciences. My goal is to become a doctor (M.D.), so I am not too sure which one would be better. Columbia's core has a lot of English courses, but the special program is enticing. </p>

<p>So which one should I choose?</p>

<p>You would have no problem getting research funding and a stipend for research at MIT -- virtually all students participate in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program.</p>

<p>whoa only ten students? that sounds pretty good.</p>

<p>MIT has a low admissions rate into Medical Schools in comparison to Columbia. Take the Columbia program, the research will definitely help your Med School applications.</p>
