Penn vs. Columbia

[IOOA14]

From my last post I ended up choosing to go to Upenn, but I just got accepted to Columbia. I really like both schools but the only big difference that I could come up with for me personally would be Philly>NYC, and Penn is cheaper due to scholarship I got from them. Anyone chosen one over the other, please share your reason. Thanks!

Don't make this complicated. Go to whichever one provides you the least debt. It really is that semple between those two schools.

Your future self will thank you later.

Penn all the way.
I picked pitt over Penn because of significantly lower cost

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get a scholarship for UPENN?

If you like the location more and it’s cheaper, go to Penn

totally different schools and training.
Columbia the students are taking basic science courses with the medical students. Teaching you to be better thinkers. More research opportunities....

Isn't it possible to lose the scholarship if you aren't top ten?

At Penn, you have to maintain a 3.0 GPA or above to keep the scholarship. Ive heard that’s very manageable.
