Any advice for my situation?

I recently found out I was selected to receive a University of Pittsburgh full tuition scholarship. I won’t post my stats but let’s just say that I could definitely get into some “better” colleges. My major is undecided but as of now I plan on going to grad school after college for something health related(med, dent, etc). I know it doesn’t matter where you go for undergrad if you’re gonna go on to grad school but my fear is that I will change my mind and decide health isnt what I want to do and then be stuck at a college that is good but not as good as I could have done (say I change my major to business).

Would you guys take the full tuition @ Pitt or try and get into a higher ranked school? Some schools I’ve been considering are Emory and WUSTL. If it matters I qualify for financial aid (income < 40,000) and I was also accepted into Michigan. I would prefer not to go all the way out west since I live in Delaware. Thanks (BTW yes I know the deadlines are on the 15th)
