<p>For medical school, it doesn’t matter where you go to undergraduate school. Your GPA and MCATS are the only determining factors. It might help a little, but for law and medical school, as long as your numbers are fine, you should be a solid candidate for top medical and law schools. </p>
<p>The experience at Vanderbilt and Miami are tremendously different, so you better decide what matters most to you. Coral Gables and the University of Miami are not going to give you that ultimate college-town field. Vanderbilt has a beautiful campus and it is a great college town. If going Greek is something important to you, take into account that Vanderbilt has one of the biggest Greek life communities in the U.S. </p>
<p>Honestly, not to be judgmental, but staying at Miami will kind of defer you from stepping outside of that comfort zone and gain new, worldly experiences. As you said, you like that Miami has that Latin-Jewish vibe, but a part of college is too expand and grow, not just intellectually but socially. Nashville is a great city and Vanderbilt attracts a diverse student body. I know people say UMiami is very diverse, but it has a large concentration of students from South Florida, Latin America, South America and the Northeast. </p>
<p>I think you really need to figure out what it is that is important to you and what you want to get out of college. This is a big decision. Don’t be afraid to step out of your bubble, college is suppose to be a huge learning experience in itself.</p>
