"Her future aim is to go to med school. Which school will prepare her better for med school? "

She does not need to worry about being prepared for the medical school. I would follow the money and select one of the cheaper ones. My own pre-med D. was attending the UG on full tuition Merit award and it freed our resources to pay for her Medical School. No UG prepares them for medical school. College provides some basic background, but academics at Medical School is “quantum leap” higher as was expressed by my D. What they need to focus in UG (any UG!!) is getting very high GPA, decent MCAT score, participate in medical ECs and all of it will depend on the student, not the college. Besides, medical schools do not pay too much attention to the name of the UG, they pay whole lot of attention to the things that I listed.
Best wishes on this very challenging road!
