Brown and Dartmouth are very similar in that they are smaller schools, with more laid-back students.

Penn is in the city. Although Brown is in Providence, you can’t compare it to Philly. I would bet there would definitely be a more cutthroat atmosphere, but not to a Johns Hopkins extent.

Expanding on lgellar’s post…Prestige should have no affect where you choose undergrad school, since you’re going to go straight to medical school. Go where you want to go, get good grades, and have fun. Don’t go to any of these schools for prestige, just try to find a good fit.

Also, it is EXTREMELY difficult to get into any of these schools and rarely anyone is a shoe-in. So, I wouldn’t ask “Where would you go to” questions until you actually get in.
