UMiami vs. Vanderbilt (full rides both)

<p>I have full costs covered at both universities as well, and I’ve chosen UM without question. I’m not looking into medical school (although may consider grad school of some sort), so don’t have that factor to consider like you do. </p>

<p>Nashville is supposedly a good city as well, but it’s nothing like Miami: a vibrant, international city known around the world. </p>

<p>Being a Foote Fellow pretty much sealed the deal for me and unless I had gotten into Stanford with some sort of amazing offer, pretty much outdid all other options I had. The flexibility with being a Foote Fellow is so tremendous, you can easily double major and still take a variety of random classes that interest you, ultimately allowing you to completely customize your undergraduate education. This, IMO is worth quite a bit, even 21 places in rank. </p>

<p>From what I hear, U Miami does a fine job preparing candidates for medical school, though I’m not too caught up on the latest information as medical school is not one of my prospects. It certainly doesn’t have a bad rep or dings against it though. </p>

<p>Best of luck in your decision! It’s all about the []_[]!</p>
