So I currently have two offers to work in research at Harvard and UPenn medical schools. I was just wondering which would be best for my resume considering I am applying to both. I figured I can shadow and volunteer around the areas with doctors while I am there. I am traditionally from Delaware and have been doing research since high school. This is just mainly for networking and getting a feel of how other cities and life can be like but I was just wondering when push comes to shove, which would be a better boost to my resume and chances for medical school. Thanks!

based on that post, the answers you will get will be no better than a coin flip. You can network and get a feel for the city at either place so we have no idea what your goal is. Are you asking which has a bigger name? if so, its Harvard. Otherwise please clarify your question.

Yeah more so bigger name. I know that upenn and harvard are usually top 3 according to different rankings. I was just wondering which one would help bolster my medical school resume when I apply.
