Northwestern vs. Northeastern (full tuition) for Premed

<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>Basically will it matter in the end?</p>

<p>If you’re intent on getting into an elite school, there’s no guarantee you can make it again in grad school so here’s your chance. The downside is that it’s tough to get a good GPA here pre-med so there’s a chance you could actually kill your med school ambition by coming here. A more likely scenario is you will do just fine and get into med school and get into a top one if you do really well. Good thing the medical profession isn’t very elitist, relatively speaking.</p>

<p>If you don’t care about the name though and have some money concerns, just take the money and run. However, most people DO care about prestige even if they don’t admit it (sometimes even to themselves). You will see this in people who constantly feel the need to justify how successful they are despite not going to a top school.</p>
