Pre-med: Eckerd Scholar @ Lehigh vs. Northwestern

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am choosing between the scholars program @ Lehigh vs. Northwestern University as a pre-med student. The difference in aid is bearable (Lehigh gave me a little bit more), but I want to make sure that I will graduate with a high GPA & good MCAT scores. Can anyone elaborate on the grade deflation at NU? Should I be worried? Or is the difference in prestige the significant factor? I have visited both; Northwestern wins hands down in terms of location. However, I don’t want to screw myself over in terms of grade deflation, etc. Advice?!</p>
