<p>wow, thanks for the all the great suggestions!</p>
<p>I think that, as of now, i’m leaning toward pre-med.</p>
<p>From what I have researched and from the opinions extracted from this thread:</p>
<p>Duke: has the best research opportunities. however, as an undergrad i might be overshadowed by grad students. not as much personal attention.</p>
<p>Amherst: awesome personal attention. undergrads are treated very well and it would be easier to obtain grants, etc. Rec letters would be better for applying to med school.</p>
<p>UChicago: it’d be harder to do pre-med here because of gpa deflation.</p>
<p>Northwestern: great all-around school but not the best for pre-med.</p>
<p>Dartmouth: decent for premed. however, more of a Wall-Street feeder.</p>
<p>THE VERDICT: Duke and Amherst do the best job of sending pre-med students to top medical schools (e.g. harvard med, duke med, jhu med, etc.) (and Amherst is beastly in pre-law as well along with UC)</p>
<p>please correct me if i’m coming to the wrong conclusions… :)</p>
