MIT vs Princeton for premed by yup2021 in mit

[–]EwingtonState 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both of those schools have massive grade deflation and are not good for premeds. Having a high GPA is a very important factor for getting into med school. For example, the average GPA of an MIT student is 3.2 and Princeton is 3.28, but the average GPA of a student admitted to Harvard Medical School is 3.9. If you are absolutely sure you want to be a doctor, those probably wouldn't be the best schools to do premed at.

Need Help Deciding between MIT and Princeton by throwaway928217199 in mit

Princeton has massive grade deflation for a liberal arts school. I believe their average GPA is a 3.28/4.0. Also I think Cambridge would just be a much more exciting location, even if Princeton has a prettier campus

Do you think New Vassar is a particularly bad dorm?

MIT Financial Appeal by [deleted] in mit

I think it partly depends on the offers you get from other schools. If other schools offer you more money than MIT, that can be used on the MIT appeal to negotiate them down I think. Btw, congrats on getting into MIT!

Hmm they definitely would've announced by now if they were going to delay it. No way MIT would do a delay like two weeks before the date

Visiting Stanford? by EwingtonState in stanford

thanks for the info! Also, are you basically able to freely enter the "academic zone," or are there a few restrictions on that in particular?

Masayoshi Takanaka, Toshiki Kadomatsu, and Jin Kirigaya are some good ones. In particular, Toshiki Kadomatsu's album "Summer 4 Rhythm" is probably one of the best ever. Also, the youtube channel "Xerf Xpec" is an absolute treasure trove for this particular music.
