Should I go to Boston University or Boston College?
I have been accepted by both institutions and I will be paying about the same amount at each. I am majoring in Chemistry while completing my Pre-Med requirements. I know that Boston University has an accelerated Med program that I can apply to my sophomore year but Boston College has more of a reputation.

Hey, I've also been accepted to BC for the Class of 2012. I'm currently deciding, but just to let you know, BC has more of a campus and community feel. BU and BC are rivals, so whichever one you pick, you'll end up hating the other. I know BU is probably more science-concentrated than BC, but BC does have a lot of students as Pre-Med majors. You should probably look at Medical School acceptance rates though for BC and BU. BC does have a connection with Tufts University Medical School, so you could be admitted as a Sophomore and stay Jr. and Sr. years at BC before going to Tufts. Good luck with your decision; let me know if you are going to BC!
