<p>The trees are fine unless you have spring pollen allergies. Sooner or later, Spring even hits Minnesota. I can think of unlimited good things to say about WU. I find it hard to believe, however, that Chicago lags WU in any science, or that any medical school would take Chicago less seriously than WU. If it were just reputation, one might have to give Chicago the nod. It is harder to be admitted, has higher board scores, and has had an awesome reputation longest(even if some say that Chicago is “where the fun goes to die”). They want smart people at medical school (in theory), and each of the three schools admits smart students. Your medical school will have access to a teaching hospital; your college can be anywhere.</p>
