So I was admitted to both Harvard and Stanford for the undergraduate class of 2020. I plan on being pre-med, maybe majoring in chemistry. I honestly can’t decide where to go, even after visiting both campuses. Some advice would be appreciated.
Background information:
I’m born and raised Californian (bay area)
Pretty dead set on medicine
I am interested in research, but not extremely important to me
I want to have a good chance of getting into a top medical school-probably the most important thing as far as long term
I’m not interested in tech start ups
So far I like Harvard’s housing way more than Stanford’s (both freshman and upperclassmen)
I feel like Stanford is too close and Harvard is too far
The financial aid is the same at both so that is not a factor in my decision
