<p>@Hadiram Just to give you a different POV and provide more information about UChicago (since you did post on Stanford)-- I did a lot of Debate at my HS too and I heard a lot of great things about U Chicago’s pub. policy and political science program. My teacher is an alumn from UChicago and he actually majored in biology. He said that he did a ton of research as an undergrad and that it really helped him to become a scholar int he science field. UChicago also has one of best bio programs in the nation. </p>
