Why would someone attend Rice, Trinity, UT Dallas, or other harder school…when the GPA might be hard to keep up?

I know two people who had no intention of going to med school and who chose their undergraduate college based on academic rigor. It wasn’t until their junior years (or maybe even senior) that they decided to give it a shot. In one case it was an outgrowth of an undergraduate research experience and in the other case it was the result of a family member’s illness.
