I have students at both schools. Pre-med will be challenging at both schools. But, anyone who is admitted to either school certainly has the capability to do well. It will all be a function of how hard you apply yourself. That being said, if you can get into the major you want at one school without needing to apply, that might be a better choice. For example, to get into Ross at UMich, you need to apply after your freshman year (with the exception of a very small number of students who are accepted as Freshman). Many students don’t get it as it is very competitive (you need around a 3.8 to get in after freshman year). There are many other schools where you can get into the business school directly which can be a better option. But, also consider that there are many majors that can get you where you want to be. These two schools are quite different. Be sure to consider the fit for each. I love both schools. Ann Arbor is an amazing town (especially if you are a foodie!). It was a great fit for my first student but NU was a much better fit for my second student. Good luck!
