1. Your interest in primary care medicine is recent and driven by one of the most profound losses a young person can face. Given how many students start out as pre-med and change directions- for dozens of reasons- imo that should be a relatively low priority in deciding which college to choose.

2. If your interest in primary care medicine does hold the most important variables for admission are grades and test scores, so a school in which you are able to be at the top of your class is important. The ranking of the school is not important. On the other hand, medical school is expensive so a school from which you can graduate with little / no debt is also important.

3. If your interest in primary care medicine does not hold, which of the programs will take you closest to where you want to go? (btw, good for you for staying with your original interests as a major either way).
