Haven’t been on this particular forum for a couple of years - my D was struggling with the same question a couple of years ago! She loved U of R - but after a second visit to Case, she was torn. She slept on it for a few days before admitting she thought Case was the better fit for her. I think both programs are strong - Case might just have an edge with BME. The other positives for Case was the area (University circle is really neat and has access to plenty of things to do - Little Italy for the food, the new Uptown shopping area) and the easy access to the airport/RTA. The big sway was the hospitals and the Cleveland Clinic - almost right on the Case Campus. Rochester does have similar ties to the hospital, but at Case, it felt like you would definitely have easy access to research/volunteering opportunities at the hospital/clinic.

Good luck with your decision!
