I want to go to both, but which one? I really like Princeton. I also really like Yale. But, Princeton has a better Psychiatry program. But, Yale has better Literature. Which one do I choose? What is the lowest you can get on ur SAT's to get into either?

Very true, Princeton has one of the nation's lowest acceptance rates. A firend of mine just was accepted with a 4.0 at a prestigious high school and an excellent SAT score which I do not recall but will not speculate on. But agreed, if you know someone who is very important you obviously are of value to the school and will have a higher liklihood of acceptance. Also, I recently read that the SAT score is now the most important "section" of a student's life they look at so I recomend something very near perfection.

I believe that Columbia University in NYC has a very strong teaching graduate program. They are Ivy league. NYU also has a very strong program.

Here it is, by the US News and World Report, Princeton University is the best in the nation  ties only with Harvard. Pretty darn prestigious. Not only is the education incredible, but the ties that students receive last a lifetime and will always prove valuable.

I'm not going to sway you to either one, cause I was in the same boat as you not too long ago.  I say look at what major you want to enroll in, and go from there.  Speak to each department head of each school and set up appointments to tour each campus and ask questions.  It's an important decision and one you shouldn't take lightly.  Although I eventually did pick Clemson, I did consider both before choosing.  I did all the leg work and homework for each school before I actually enrolled.  I also had people in my ear telling me which school I should go to from each respective university.  I had to put their opinions on the backburner and decide what was best for me.  good luck on your decision!!

Neuropsych is good, but it almost sounds like you are interested in neuroscience (hint when you look at this: many universities have seperate neuroscience and psychology departments)

Hi there, I just wanted to comment on the Stats and Calc thing: I have a few friends who are taking both and they seem to be doing fine.  they all have A's in both.  I am taking 4 AP's this year and one independant study AP class as a senior and i'm not having too hard of a time.  here are my classes just in case you want to know:\n\nAP Environmental Science\nAP English Literature and Composition\nAP Art History\nAP Microeconomics\nAP Human Geography (Independant Study)\n\nI have previously taken:\nAP European History\nAP US History\nAP Psychology\nAP US Government and Politics\n\nI think you should be fine, and feel free to ask if you have any questions on the classes I took.  Adios!

with those SAT scores, you can probably count out the ivies.  an average harvard student gets 1500 or so on their SATs.  unless you're the best student your current college has ever seen, it's gonna be pretty hard to transfer to harvard or yale or princeton, especially if you want to go straight onto a medical track.\nthat said, the rankings:  harvard is usually ranked the highest, followed by yale and princeton, then dartmouth, penn, brown, and finally cornell.  for med school, though, the rankings might not go in that order.\nto you, i would recommend looking at a good state university in whatever state you're considering moving to.  you can get a fine education there, with much less stress, and considerably less money.\nbest of luck.

That is so weird - I applied to those same two colleges as well, but I got wait listed @ Macalester. Boo. Anyways, it seems like a tough decision, because although they are both strong liberal arts schools (Mac being to the extreme) Madison's social life is 100x more overwhelming than Macalester, as well as the campus. I think it depends whether you want to go to a big school or a small school, although Mac is tougher to get into than Madison. Personally, I'm going to Madison, but I'd rather be going to Macalester, but business wise I have no idea which is the better school. Again bottom line: big or small. And tuition. They will both be equally cold. Brr.

Collegeboard.com and princetonreview.com are good, free sites that give you all the statistical info about schools. I used them to help me research what school I wanted to go to.\n\nCollege Board:\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=149\n\nPrinceton Review:\nhttp://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/profiles/generalinfo.asp?listing=1023561<ID=1\n\nOf course the school's website has the same info. \nTry: http://uh.edu/uh_glance/

If you are a non-conformist, can study little and perform high (as you say), I would say Cornell would be the better school for you.  Perhaps Harvard is getting a bad rap, but it has developed the reputation of taking in students whose parents can (and do) buy their children's way through school.  Cornell, on the other hand, (seems to me) has a reputation of turning out students who earned their degrees more honestly - students who actually had the intelligence to be there in the first place and will have more to contribute to the world (at large) once they leave.  This, of course, may be my own delusion.  \n\nI have thought of Cornell as being a college that allows and encourages its students and professors to think freely.  Thinking freely is what creates inventions and solves (even world) problems.  Do students, who have been prepped since birth to go to a specific college, think for themselves, make good leaders, not push or pay their way through the world, care about "the little guy", not go into big business or big government for the sake of the big paycheck, have concern for the world as a whole and want to be a part of its survival? \n\nWhat type of person are you and what group do you want to be associated with?  Harvard's reputation might change; so might Cornell's.  Talk to as many people as you can who have gone to both schools - rich and poor, successful and not.\n\nYou should consider, too, the cities each college is in.  Will you be happy in the environments?  \n\nGood luck.  I know it is a tough decision.  (And, as someone else said, you can transfer...)
