<p>I’m a Princeton grad, and I know this is the Penn Board. </p>
<p>The truth is that all of these schools will give you all of the preparation and opportunities you need to get into med school. All have produced world-renowned physicians. I’ve done a fir amount of consulting for both hospitals and physicians, and have seen incredibly successful physicians coming out of all of the Ivy schools (as well as many schools of less renown).</p>
<p>There is no real data that truthfully will let you distinguish between which will give you a better shot at med school; even med school admission percentages don’t help, because some kids at each school will have looked at their organic chemistry grade and decided not to apply. There isn’t full data available, like you see for Penn Admissions.</p>
<p>Pick the school that fits you best and that you like the best. As much as I’d like to pick on Penn, our big basketball rival, the differences in education throughout the Ivy League are minimal to zero. The differences in school flavor are significant.</p>
<p>Harvard/MIT: Brainy City on edge of Big City
Princeton: Plush Suburb
Penn: Right in the Center of a Big City</p>
<p>These are oversimplifications. Spend as much time as you can before May 1 at each school to learn more about them, and if you can’t get there, do some research and some soul-searching on where you want to be and what types of kids you want to be with. </p>
<p>If you’re happy at the school, you will have the best performance, and then you will have the best chances of getting into med school.</p>
<p>Plus, bear in mind that countless premeds change their minds and decide they want to do something else for countless reasons, so I wouldn’t pick a school because of its chances of getting you into med school.</p>
<p>PS: A college classmate who was a religion major is now an orthopedic surgeon. Premed requirements are fairly basic (a year of bio, 2 years of chem, a year of physics and a year of English), so please take that into account when choosing your school as well. Doing well on the MCAT’s and doing well overall is what the med schools want to see.</p>
