GT isn’t likely to produce a med school -worthy GPA (no adjustments to expect despite their tough grade deflation). Onlykeep if you think she may prefer other venues than med school (as most freshmen find out what they like while in college and drop the vague “med school” option that wasn’t anchored in reality - if she has shadowed doctors, volunteered in a hospital, truly enjoys and excels at science and English, etc., then she may hold on to it.) A GTech degree is very worthwhile for other endeavors than medicine.
Both UNC-CH and NCSU would be excellent choices. Atmosphere is quite different so she should visit, do an overnight, attend two classes (one a freshman gen ed requirement, one in her potential major), talk to students, eat in the cafeteria, read the campus paper, to see which one “feels right”.
Furman should be crossed out due to costs.
