<p>They are both excellent and regarded schools. However, Vanderbilt is very strong, esp amongst its alumni in the south. Vanderbilt probably has higher average stats for applicants accepted. If you are premed, and from what I’ve browsed here at cc about the schools over the last few years, Vanderbilt looks like the far better choice if you are premed - like your screen name. My opinion only. Always good to do your own research.</p>
