How cut-throat is U of C?

<p>Hi, I am in high school right now and am fascinated by medicine. I want to go to a school for undergrad that will provide me a really good education that will prepare me for the mcat, not have 200 other people in the class who are premed to compete with, and will allow me to explore my other interests other than science. I have heard really good things about university of chicago and I want to know everyone’s opinion of it as a school to go to for premed.</p>
