They’re all top schools with excellent clinical and research opportunities. The problem is getting in, and then the next problem is achieving a very high GPA in extremely competitive large lecture pre-med classes. I went to an Ivy. If I worked incredibly hard in a premed class, I might get an A, but more often an A minus, or even a B+, and that was with just killing myself with studying. If I didn’t work so hard? Not a pretty picture. I also took some classes at a well-respected 4 yr public college. There, all I had to do to get an A was do the work, and review a bit before the final. It was just SO much easier to get straight A’s there. My point is, it’s gonna be extremely stressful at any of these. Since they all have hospital and research facilities, I’d honestly say that the choice should be made based upon geography. Philly beats Baltimore and New Haven.
