<p>i am a junior and wondering which college is better when it comes to Prestige and being a med school applicant(Majoring in Biochemistry and Minor in Fine arts is what i want to do.) </p>
<p>and how are syracuse Dorms?</p>
<p>suggestion: visit each and decide for yourself</p>
<p>whichever school you could get a higher GPA for med school and costs less…</p>
<p>I am by no means a science major, but I do know that SU offers a pre-med track. Does BU?</p>
<p>BU is known for grade deflation. If you wanted to go to med school, don’t go there! You will be hurting your chances.</p>
<p>According to US NEWS, Syracuse U is ranked higher than Boston U by 7 schools. Boston U has a great surrounding city and can offer many hands-on opportunities. Syracuse U is in NY, but is far upstate and snows A LOT. But the campus is incredible and both schools are loaded. Find out how much scholarships and grants you can receive from either school.</p>
<p>Hope that helped.</p>
<p>I second taxguy on the grade deflation issue at BU.</p>
<p>I visited BU as a HS senior and first, I wanted to live in a dorm where I could fit more than 2 people and I also wanted a campus. Hence, I picked SU.
Also, as a fellow pre-med/pre-dental student, the new Life Sciences Complex at SU is tough to ignore.</p>
<p>i know i saw the Life Science Building and its soooooooooooooo nice and the Chemistry building that just opened too i forgot the name, though. </p>
<p>i know i decided SU is soooooooo much better than BU. not only that, but i heard i f you attended the Syracuse Summer Program for HS Students(Which i am this summer as a rising senior) and apply early decision(def. am going to!), your a sure in. i have a 3.25 gpa UW and 3.47 W and 800+ Hours of Community Service, too to go along with that.</p>
