I’m sure these kinds of topics have been discussed before on this forum, but I am posting this because I have a very specific question. I have been accepted into both Washington University in St. Louis’s and Columbia University’s post-bac premed programs. I am having a very difficult time making a decision. I actually already told Washington University yes a few weeks ago which is before I had heard from Columbia, and I would feel very bad going back on that; however, if the opportunities I would have attending Columbia would be significantly better, I do think it would be in my best interests to attend Columbia even though I have already told Washington University yes. I realize that you get out of something what you put in. I am going to work my tail off regardless of what program I attend, so I am just wondering which program would open the most doors for me (i.e. make me the most competitive medical school applicant) assuming I work very hard at both of them. If the same doors would be opened regardless, I think Washington University is the best choice because it would be less expensive (both tuition and living expenses). Part of me feels that I would have picked Columbia had I been accepted to both at the same time, but would it really make that big of a difference? I think both schools have great programs, but I would like to hear about firsthand experience at both of them. Thank you.
