Pre-Med: Northwestern or Ohio State

<p>My dad is a surgeon and always recommends going to a less “prestigious” undergraduate university to complete premed requirements. He went to his state’s flagship school and then went to NU’s Feinberg for med school. Also, Feinberg has no preferred admission whatsoever for NU undergrads, unless you’re in the HPME program. So in all honesty, OSU is the smart choice. For someone on the premed track, saving money and getting good grades should be the priority during undergrad. Also, from what I’ve heard, the premed program at NU is extremely competitive, making it that much harder to get good grades. That being said, you definitely shouldn’t choose OSU because it will be “easier” but if money is a main concern, it really is the smarter choice.</p>
