<p>I have already been accepted to the following schools:</p>
<p>University of Pennsylvania
Columbia University
Northwestern University
Emory University
Middlebury College
Colgate University
Wesleyan University</p>
<p>How would these be ranked in terms of Pre-med education?</p>
<p>Yea I read that after I posted this.</p>
<p>Well, since you're in to all of these schools already (congrats btw), i think it comes down to what you want in terms of environment and what you want as your undergrad experience, as most of them are excellent.</p>
<p>While I am unashamedly biased towards Penn, I think it has the best program on the list, as it gets the overwhelming majority of its premeds into med school on their first try with a comprably low average GPA (the percentage tends to be in the mid to high 80's for a given year, and the GPA hovers in the 3.4 area, considerably below the average nationally). The advising is fantastic, there is a ton of research exposure, and there are three different hospitals either on or bordering campus. It is also most likely the most competitive school on the list, as there is a very preprofessional atmosphere, but it serves a motivational rather than threatening purpose, as there's not the direct rivalry between students that you hear about at some schools.</p>
<p>Emory and Northwestern also have good premed reputations, though from where you got accepted it seems like the former was a bit of a safety and I don't think there's a reason to go to Northwestern over Penn unless you really love Chicago.</p>
<p>Columbia's gigantic core curriculum might make it very hard for you to take any truely elective classes, as you'll have to fit in your graduation, premed, and major requirements all at once. Columbia also has a rep for neglectivng it's undergrads.</p>
<p>For any of the LACs you'd be choosing a very different atmosphere with it's own strengths an weaknesses; I've actually heard good things about premed at Wesleyan.</p>
<p>Philly seems to know alot about the specifics of the campus and surrounding areas.</p>
<p>So long as you find a place that you fit in well, there's no wrong choice. It's just going to come down to your personal preferences and what you are hoping to make a part of your college experience. Like for me, big time D1 sports teams to cheer for were a high priority for me, and so I'd choose Northwestern out of your list (not that I would ever go there, just if you forced me to choose from that list), but you probably have very different opinions than me.</p>
<p>Are NU's sports really better than Penn's? Penn often makes the NCAA tournament, and I don't think NU does, does it?</p>
<p>Not that Penn's are spectacular, obviously. But... by comparison.</p>
