A few points:

1) Medical schools don’t care much where you do your undergrad, and most reputable schools offer decent basic sciences, so any reputable school should be fine. The important factors are GPA, MCAT score, and state of residence (for less expensive state medical schools).

2) Medical school is very expensive, so you don’t want to go into debt as an undergrad if you can help it.

3) You need to decide what your other criteria are for schools since your grades and test scores are fine for most good schools. Generous financial aid is obviously one criteria. Is your in-state uni a decent safety?
