<p>Lets look at both from a 4 year perspective, last I heard Harvard had no transfer admissions whatsoever. I would say most people are more enthusiastic about being at BC than at URoch, and BC wins hands down in terms of location, sports, school spirit, etc. They are similarly ranked but I have always felt much more strongly about the rep of BC vs URoch, but then again I am not sure about neuroscience so much and those things tend to be very school specific sometimes. If you are looking at pre-med, BC has a high med school acceptance rate, but I would investigate that at both schools. If you can make a visit, obviously it’s better than relying on college confidential. Rochester is also in a really lousy area that’s not too safe from what I’ve heard, whereas BC is in a really nice suburb. BC has a large core, that can either be a plus or minus, as is the Jesuit affiliation of BC, though most non-religious or non-Catholic students don’t have any sort of a problem with it. If you have any questions about BC feel free to ask me.</p>
