<p>Financial issues aside, which is better for a biological science/pre-med route?</p>
<p>Stanford is obviously great at everything, but Duke has the resources of the Research Triangle, the Med School, and opps at nearby Chapel Hill and NC State. </p>
<p>Which one is better?</p>
<p>I see you’re from NC…Stanford is on the other side of the country…since both schools are similar academically, I would ask myself, “Do I want to leave NC/the East and go West or would I be happier staying here?”…</p>
<p>I have the same question!</p>
<p>From what I’ve found out, Stanford has the #1 biological sciences program in the nation. As for pre-med, it doesn’t really matter as much since there isn’t a pre-med major anywhere. Both schools have outstanding pre-med advising though.</p>
<p>In regards to opportunities, I think Stanford edges out Duke.</p>
