Northwestern vs. Rice

<p>I have recently been accepted to both Rice and Northwestern and cannot decide which one to pick! I realize that both are amazing schools, but ultimately my goal is to not only get a well-rounded education, but also receive an experience that will prepare me for medical school.
I would like to know about the intro science courses (ie “weed-out courses” - especially orgo experiences), grading systems (inflation/deflation), or any personal stories that people have.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
