Vanderbilt or MIT?

<p>MIT hands-down. Go visit the campus and talk to people especially students about any doubts you may have.
This mentorship program with Harvard med students sounds good - [HMS-MIT</a> Medical Mentorship Program](<a href=“http://amsa.mit.edu/mentor/]HMS-MIT”>MIT-Medical Student Mentor Program) Have you checked out the other resources on the MIT website for pre-meds?

And there are MANY hospitals nearby where MIT students can volunteer/job shadow etc. You can walk to Mass General, Mass Eye and Ear, and the rest are a subway ride away.</p>
