<p>It all depends on where you fit in best. If you really want to be challenged academically, choose Northwestern. If you want a balance of good academics and an active social life, then USC and Notre Dame are good choices too. Northwestern has the best biology program of the five, but remember med schools look at your gpa, and not really the college you go to. If you go to Northwestern and get a 3.3 gpa, it doesn’t look as good as going to USC with a 3.5 gpa does.</p>
<p>My recommendation is go to a college where the classes aren’t EXTREMELY challenging, but they are tough, so the chances of getting a higher gpa are greater.</p>
