Harvard (WL) vs. Middlebury

Please help me!! Haha. My two top choices during this whole process had been Midd and Harvard (yes, I realize they are vastly different - I love both of them for different reasons). I’ve been accepted at Midd and waitlisted at Harvard. Now, I realize the chances that I get off the waitlist are slim, but it’s a definite possibility as I have people pulling for me over there.

So obviously right now I’m focusing on Midd, but in case I do get off the H waitlist, I need to be able to make a very hard decision… any input would be very much appreciated!

Primarily, is either school better for med school admissions? I want to be pre-med, but also probably major in English or Classics, but also take some psych courses and some languages… I think both schools are great in all of these departments but any concrete info/opinions on that would be much appreciated.

Beyond that, I really need to figure out where I’d be happiest spending the next four years of my life, and unfortunately, with the whole waitlist thing I can’t actually go to any admitted students days or really get a feel for life at Harvard… any input comparing the two schools? Please? Thank you!
