The reason why I am leaning towards Cambrdige is that I think it is something that will make me stand out. My hope is that I would have a better shot coming from Cambridge than Stanford, which has 300 premeds per year.



This is just not a good plan. Do not go to Cambridge to improve your odds of attending a U.S. medical school. I understand the fascination and allure of Cambridge and for almost any other career goal, I would be right there with you. But not for someone intent on med school.

Too risky. Advising, med school requirements, grading, timing of organized MCAT preparation.

IMO, go to Stanford.
