I was accepted early to Harvard and I got a likely letter from Yale in late January inviting me to YES-W. I want to major in molecular biology. I know people say that asking CCers for advice is wrong, but getting honest answers from students who attend either school is challenging in person due to their desire to recruit. I visited both campuses last year, but I still came away from the tours as a little skeptical of the admissions propaganda. I would appreciate if someone could help give some empirical reasons for a Pre-Med to attend either school.
Thank you,

Can’t go wrong with either. Congrats on getting into both.
Keep in mind that the Harvard medical school campus is in Boston, whereas the undergraduate campus is in Cambridge. Yale’s medical school is only a few blocks from the main campus.
This may factor into your decision as you will likely need to pursue research while an undergrad.
