Hey tcnj08 i'm having a problem picking between TCNJ(Full tuition scholarship) and Boston college( not even a dime). I come from a well off family and my parents could just pay the 52K price tag or give me whatever money they would have spent if I go to TCNJ. I'm looking to get either and MD, PhD, or both from a very prestigious school (e.g. Harvard, Stanford, etc.) and to do so I would need to do research (in Biology) and hopefully get something published. BC is a bigger, more expensive place so I would probably have to kill myself to get research in with a professor b/c i would be competing with the Honors and other motivated kids a BC. At TCNJ I would probably be in the front of such a line and might have a higher GPA and better teacher recs. Given my situation, can you help me out in choosing?

P.S. I was leaning toward TCNJ but now I am wondering if the mediocre professors and lack of recognition could hurt me and maybe being a regular student at BC is the better opinion.
