Duke v. Brown v. Princeton (pre-med)

Full disclosure: I’m a strong Duke partisan.

CONGRATULATIONS, these are splendid acceptances, and these three universities are among the best in the world (all will meet your needs VERY well).
Presuming affordability is essentially equal, it would be very difficult not to opt for Princeton (in my opinion, much less so for Brown); however, Duke has some advantages that are quasi-unique among these outstanding schools:

  1. Duke’s medical establishment (the Med School, of course, but extensive research, clinical practice, and so much more) will offer some research medically-oriented opportunities that are would be unlikely at Brown or Princeton.
  2. Undergraduate research at Duke is both extensive and substantial; you may wish to explore this site: http://undergraduateresearch.duke.edu/

Summary: You have done extremely well, you cannot make a poor decision, and all three universities have distinguished, multi-generation records of preparing undergraduates for excellent careers in the medical sciences.
