Either Centre or Rhodes would be good for a student interested in pre-med. Check out their pre-health advising, and have your S even reach out to them and ask questions about the process, opportunities for patient facing and research experience, whether they write committee letters for all students wanting to apply to med school, etc.

Regarding Allegheny, I am concerned there could be grade deflation there which obviously is not great for a pre-med. My experience is just based on a couple of data points, but my understanding is the graduating class average GPA is below 3.0. Definitely something for your S to research further.
