Stanford vs Rice

<p>I've been accepted to both Stanford and the Rice/Baylor program (8-year program for Rice U. and Baylor med school) and now I'm trying to decide between them. I live in Houston and am pretty sure (85%?) I want to become a doctor. Rice also offered me merit scholarships and research money. However, I know people at Stanford and they all loved it. Stanford seems to be great at a lot of different areas, and California/Stanford sounds like a wonderful place. Stanford is also more prestigious than Rice.
Does anyone have any suggestions/comments that can help? thanks</p>

<p>Stanford's biology and chemistry education is excellent. You will get into a good medical school, with a good chance at one better than Baylor. There are tons and tons of research opportunities.</p>

<p>How much money did Rice offer? Half or Full tuition? More?</p>

<p>Is money an issue for you and your family.</p>

<p>Where would you like to live and work?</p>

<p>this is a tough one since you got into the program at rice, which from my understanding is quite prestigious. I think it comes down to which school you like better personally. Have you visited both schools? I think this one comes down to preference.</p>

<p>Go to Stanford then apply for a medical school :)
it won't be that hard</p>
