I think you’ve nailed the differences - with one exception. Check out the core curriculum at both places. Most Jesuit schools (like BC) are pretty restrictive, with the result that in your first 2 years there is hardly any room for electives. I don’t know what it is at NYU. ANother big difference is that BC is a catholic institution and a lot of the students are from that background. NYU - more diverse.

If you are seriously considering med school ($200,000) you might not want to incurr debt for those 2 very pricey undergraduate schools. Hope thats not an issue for you.
