Med school admissions is based on GPA, MCAT score, letters of recommendation, and required medical volunteer work/job shadowing. All of those places would be just fine. Her aim should be to finish her undergrad years without any debt, and with as much money set aside to pay for med school as possible. She can safely choose the place that will give her the best combination of low costs, and likelihood of a better GPA. For price alone, I’d drop Furman from her list right now. Since GT is only cheap because of the scholarship, she needs to know what the requirements are for keeping that scholarship.

Many, many premeds change their goals along the way. She should take a good long look at what the places on her list have to offer if she would decide against med school.
