<p>However, I think attending a better school such as UChi still has advantages. If you are dead set for med school and you know your scores will support the application, by all means attend a cheap school where your scores will shine. However, a better school usually will provide a better prospect for a student failed a premed track. My friend’s D did not want to do pre-med after she tried for a year at UChi and now is a hedge fund manager at a prominent firm. This kind of opportunity will not come easy if she went to a lower CSU. And MANY students failed pre-med track in their colleges.</p>
