College Discussion - View Single Post - Brown (no aid) v UVA (in-state, Echols)

velveteen · 04-15-2008, 01:02 PM

I intend to go into medicine, maybe an MD-PhD and I love biology/neuroscience. I'm also really big on art/music, but I don't intend to major in either.

I know both schools free me from requirements, but I'm not too familiar about possible subtle differences between the two's academic freedom.

I really like Brown more socially from the impression I get of it being more liberal, less jock, less frat/sor.

I need as much academic info as possible to convince my parents that Brown is worth it financially (about 30k more than UVA/year). How will it help me with med school? Future jobs? Etc etc. Links are esp welcome.

Thanks and sorry in advance if I made any typos. I'm in a rush right now.
