<p>I know that an ivy league education won't guarantee the best education especially for a prospective pre-med like me, but which school would most probably be best? I'm leaning towards Cornell but I hear it's really intensive there (grade deflation..etc). Any advice/feedback appreciated!</p>
<p>

<p>You are leaning towards a school has grade deflation. Why?</p>
<p>Did you get into all eight of them?</p>
<p>Brown which offers the guaranteed acceptance.</p>
<p>bluebayou,
PLME is the most competitive combined bs/md in nation. Good luck with this one!</p>
<p>I would have thought Johns Hopkins was.</p>
<p>I do not know statistics for UG admission to JHU.
I imagine that quality of applicant pool is very comparable. For PLME, most accepted were top 1% of their HS class.</p>
<p>Here is Brown’s PLME for 2009:</p>
<p>No. of applicants to PLME 1858
No. offered admission to PLME 97
About 20 applicants / spot </p>
<p>Fall, 2009 Freshman Class
No. of PLME matriculants 55</p>
<p>hey Miami, the OP asked a simple question and I gave the simple answer for “best.” </p>
<p>btw: is Brown really the most competitive? I’m not disputing your statement since I really have no idea, but I would have thought that Northwestern’s or even UCSD’s guarantee would be pretty darn hard too – plenty of gunners out here in California, not to mention UCSD’s program has a tie-in with Caltech.</p>
<p>
Does JHU even have a 6-7 year med school program?</p>
<p>

<p>Brown’s program is very hard to get into, because its ivy league status attracts A LOT of gunners. Brown’s program in terms of selectivity is on par with NU’s and Rice/Baylor program. All 3 programs are associated with top undergraduate/medical schools. I have no idea about UCSD.</p>
<p>I thought they had one…</p>
