<p>I do not know any “easier” colleges. It is extremely hard everywhere. Do not kid yourself, will have to work very hard to get high GPA. It includes very top kids, valedictorians from private HS who went to state colleges. If you are planning to enter Med. School some day the best is to go where you think you will be happy. Being happy will help you with your GPA. Opportunities for EC’s are everywhere, pre-med advisory quality might vary from place to palce but it has nothing to do with prestige. Do not calculate too much, go where your heart is leading you. It might sound like cliche, but it works.</p>
