I am a Rhodes graduate so there’s that…and I know for a fact that both colleges are wonderful. Truly. You cactually can’t make a bad decision :)! A few things to consider. The former President of Austin College is now the President of Rhodes College…maybe not important but interesting. Rhodes has exceptional pre-med support and studies. They have excellentl connections with area hospitals including world-famous St Jude’s. They just completed a fantastic life science building/complex so between connections and facilities you really can’t go wrong. So I can’t pick for you but it feels to me like the opportunities for research, internships and med school placement may just be stronger at Rhodes. If you pick AC you’ll get a top flight education there, too…so yes, your heart should play a role.
