<p>As a pre-med student, which school would be better? I would have to say that I see myself fitting in at both schools and I really love both. Which would be better for MCAT prep and med school admission?</p>
<p>Equally excellent for education and prep for MCAT but there are differences. One, Stanford has a med school. MIT doesn’t. Two, Stanford has a much broader base in liberal education and humanities. Three, Stanford is a dominant force on the west coast. Do you want to go to med school in the west? Where, eventually, do you want to live and practice medicine?</p>
<p>plus @ MIT it’s hella hard to keep a high GPA</p>
<p>If you’re asking from a pure “what college would give me a better chance of attending a top medical school, if everything else is equal” perspective, then the answer is Stanford – without question.</p>
<p>Having said that, perhaps the more important question is where you’d see yourself fitting in better.</p>
<p>
both are absolutely terrific schools but with incredibly different feels to their students and campuses … have you spent overnights at both leading to your statement that you see yourself fitting in at both … I would expect anyone who visited both to have a very strong preference for one over the other because of their differences.</p>
<p>i absolutely agree that the two are so different. Having visited both, I like each one’s differences.</p>
<p>Having said that, after much debate, I’ve chosen Stanford. I think it’s the best for my future. It pains me to turn down MIT though.</p>
<p>congrats … I’m sure you’ll a GREAT experience at Stanford!</p>
<p>You will NEVER, EVER regret going to Stanford.</p>
<p>Thanks! I sure hope that I won’t regret this life-changing decision. =)</p>
<p>Gleb?! Is that you?!</p>
<p>me? tis not I</p>
