<p>So Northwestern or Northeastern for premed?</p>
<p>Full tuition to Northeastern which is nice but nothing at all to Northwestern, but that isnt a problem
would the higher GPA and coop at Northeastern outweigh doing premed at Northwestern?</p>
<p>Im currently in the Neuroscience program at NEU with honors etc. and Physics and Astronomy at Northwestern
although i may switch to engineering at NEU and do premed through that (they dont have biomedical though so maybe computer engineering with a BME minor)</p>
<p>“Full tuition to Northeastern which is nice but nothing at all to Northwestern, but that isnt a problem” - Wow, that’s great if cost is not an issue. Do make sure that your parents agree on that. </p>
<p>Although we like Northeastern, I also hear good things from friends about Northwestern (which seems to be a much more competitive school). Check around for med school related threads too - that may be key for your situation.</p>
<p>Read the pre-med forum, they know what they’re talking about. The general rule is that for pre-med, it matters most what you do as an undergrad, not where you do it. I have a few friends (several of them neuro majors) who have been very successful with med admissions from northeastern. </p>
<p>Northwestern’s a really top school and they have a superstar science department. As a strict pre-med it really doesn’t matter–you can get very equal ECs in at both NEU and Northwestern. </p>
<p>I’m actually a little biased toward Northwestern because I’ll be applying to grad school there and just think it’s a great place to be a scientist (of course, BOSTON is an even better place to be a scientist)… but as far as med admissions: if you’re a good student at either, you’ll get into a good medical school.</p>
