<p>Have you posted on the subboards specific to these three colleges?</p>
<p>One statistic you can look up is the percentage of applicants from each school who are admitted to medical school. How med schools view each place is probably the most important thing to you, I would guess.</p>
<p>As far as quality of life, the locations are pretty different from each other. Which you might prefer is a personal matter.</p>
<p>You could go to princetonreview.com and see student rankings on various lifestyle matters. There's always studentsreview.com, where students and alums can post their comments about a school (recognizing that people who dislike a place may be more motivated to post -- but you can still glean useful information). You also can go to your local big bookstore and read about the places in the "what the colleges are actually like" books. And certainly visit each school before you make your final decision. And even if you've visited once, if you are still undecided after your research, you can go to the special programs each contending school has for admitted students prior to the deadline for decision. You can sit in on classes, stay in dorms, eat the food, etc.</p>
<p>Once you do all this, I bet your decision will be a much easier one.</p>
<p>To answer chamnan, you can apply to any number of schools under regular "early action." You are only restricted if you apply "early decision" or "single choice early action."</p>
