I’m doing neuro and am trying to decide between Penn, Berkeley, and UW. Other factors I’m considering are receptivity to undergraduate research (at UW undergrads publish 1-3 papers in their time there and all labs are required to have many undergrad staff), entrepreneurial culture (Philly entrepreneurship!??! Where is da funding), the structure of the pre-med track, ease of creating your own majors/minors/academic path, and the vibrant, “start-something” energy of the school. After my BS I might do an M.D., a Ph.D., an M.D./Ph.D., or leave to start my company. Thanks so much everybody smile emoticon literally anything helps
Gee, the university that houses Wharton wouldn’t have ANY entrepreneurship opportunities…
Penn is very flexible about creating your own major. Anyone can take classes in any of the colleges, so you could be premed in CAS and take Wharton classes on entrepreneurship.
You should check out the other two schools for that flexibility. I’m not even sure what UW you mean, but undergrad research opportunities may be important. But remember, publishing papers <> publishing papers, in terms of impact factor (are they publishing in top journals or attending local conferences only and being listed in the proceeds?).
Even without knowing which UW, the locations are vastly different.
Thanks rhandco. It’s the University of Washington - Seattle, by the way.
Net price at each school?
