NYU vs Brandeis vs BC?

TO bring it back to the original question:

I can’t imagine that the choice between any of these three colleges will really affect your chances of getting into medical school. They’re all excellent universities with good pre-med programs and are well-regarded. Any ranking differences between them are negligible. (Seriously, they are all ranked in the low 30s on USNWR, which is a meaningless difference at that point.)

So you should choose based on what you like the best. Where do you want to go? NYU is, as someone else pointed out, an urban university - there’s no real “campus”; it’s a collection of buildings scattered throughout lower Manhattan. Some students really crave that experience and others don’t. Brandeis and BC both have more traditional campuses, but very different student life vibes. They’re also completely different sizes: Brandeis has just over 3500 undergrads; BC has just over 9,000, and NYU has just under 25,000.
