These are all big state public schools, and I imagine the academic experience at them would be similar (for what it’s worth, I went to my state flagship for undergrad). While I don’t know anything about the individual merits of any of these programs, I would be absolutely SHOCKED if any of them was so much better than the others that it should persuade you to go there. Whether your academic pedigree means anything substantial to med school admissions is frequently debated; it seems like the consensus here is that it doesn’t–but that’s kind of a moot point, as none of the schools you’re considering would likely get a “boost” for name.

You should go to a school that you like, a school where you’re comfortable, and a school that won’t break the bank. If all 3 schools are the same on all 3 of those levels, then you really can’t go wrong with any of them!
