<p>I'm having to choose between these schools. </p>
<p>Here are the current advantages of each that I am considering based on what I think I know, which might just be wrong.</p>
<p>Berkeley advantages:
-credits going in (1st, ~2 years)
-weather (1st)
-student life (1st)
-name prestige for medical school applications (3rd)</p>
<p>Vanderbilt
-credits going in (n/a, ~1 semester)
-weather (2nd)
-student life (2nd)
-name prestige for medical school applications (2nd)</p>
<p>WUSTL
-credits going in (n/a, ~1 semester)
-weather (3rd)
-student life (3rd)
-name prestige for medical school applications (1st)</p>
<p>Based on premed stats, berkeley has about a 56% acceptance rate which is kind of subpar when compared to Vanderbilt's 67% or WUSTL 71%.</p>

<p>I'm not sure how much these stats matter though or what to make of them. </p>
<p>Which school should I pick and why?</p>
