Is Harvard worth 80k in debt?

while Georgia Tech is not very good for academic fit (it’s not particularly known for its humanities or social sciences quality – which would be utilized in a pre-law path – and the neuroscience major is in its infancy

This student is premed, not prelaw. What difference does it make what the quality of humanities or social sciences are for a premed? I mean, it’s GT, not some podunk school. The psych and socio 100 level classes will surely be adequate as mcat prep. And really, what difference would the quality make in regards to a neuro major if the student is premed? Seriously, the classes could be total basket-weaving and it wouldn’t matter as a premed. And of course, being GT, they wouldn’t be.

I’m not sure what the fit is that you’re concerned about.

The op did express concern about the neuro major ranking, but again why would that matter at all as a premed. If a premed majored in English would it matter at all if the dept ranking was 1, 10, 100 or unranked? No. Not a bit. And med schools don’t know or care about how a major ranks at an undergrad.
