Where should I go? Helpful advice

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey everyone, this is a post to see if I can clarify any of the thoughts that are going through my head. Right now I'm debating between the following schools:</p>

<p>Duke
Princeton
Brown
Cornell
BU SMED (accelerated program)
Northwestern HPME (accelerated program)</p>

<p>While the accelerated programs are helpful because they take away the stress of applying to medical school and taking the MCATs, do I really want to lock myself into those programs? Also, how will I be able to know if I go to a regular four year undergrad education that I won't be able to do well on the MCATs and be accepted to an even better medical school? Or might I fall flat on my face? I also want to make my decision not based on financial aid decisions.</p>

<p>Please, any advice would help; thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Here's the 5-yr med school admission data for Princeton grads; it gives you a better idea of what the odds of getting into even better med school are:</p>
