Hi, so I'm new to this website. I got admission to Princeton and the PLME program at Brown, but Princeton gave more money. Also, I got waitlisted at Harvard, so it's kind of in the back of my mind and I'll think about it when the time arises. I was just wondering what the advantages of each. One thing I'm hesitant about Princeton is it's lack of a med school and its grade deflation, because I heard it's bad but that it really only affects the humanities. But, I wanted to check because that could be a factor when I do apply to medical school. Also, Brown's program is good but I'm not sure how I feel about being "locked in" and feel like I might apply out which means I'd be taking the MCAT's anyways. Harvard also has an AMAZING major that I love and would be excited to learn about, but of course got waitlisted lol. Any ideas?
