College Search & Selection
1

<p>I want to do the premed track and major in biology. I live in a Columbus suburb and would probably get around a half ride to ohio st to go along with instate tuition. However, I think I have a fighting shot at getting into Northwestern if I apply ED. I dont think i will get any substantial FA from NW. Which school would be you choose to attend in my situation.</p>

<p>Go with the $$$. Med schools care more about your GPA and MCAT than anything else. NU has a pretty intense program and one of the hardest orgo sequence in the country (for which, it does not accept credit transfer from anywhere, not even Harvard).</p>

<p>I took it and it wasn’t fun. One of my HPME (combined med program at NU) friends got 2 B+ in a row even though he got 36 on MCAT just for fun (MCAT is not required for HPME).</p>
