<p>I’d personally go with U Chicago, unless you’re pre-med (then WUStL would be better). The programs are about equal in quality (WUStL’s BME is 14th, Chicago’s biochem is ~15 or so), but WUStL’s programs are largely geared toward pre-meds (like Duke or JHU). Chicago provides a liberal arts education and a very strong science program. Plus, with Chicago’s biochem program, you can earn your bachelor and masters degrees in 4 years! :)</p>
