My MCAT score (36Q) is competitive for schools like Harvard, Duke, Mayo, Yale, etc. But not sure whether I really want to apply to these schools.
I'm mostly unclear of how life at top schools such as these might differ from other US schools. Are their curriculums more difficult? I've heard that medical students at "top" schools tend to be "extra-stressed." Is this true? Are the level and intensity of work much higher for "top" schools than for others?
I ask for two reasons. Firstly, I would like to be able to get good grades in medical school. Secondly, I would like to "have a life."
