<p>You sound like you’ve done your homework, so I’m sure you’ll be similarly successful no matter the difference in class size.</p>
<p>I just had a financial aid presentation at medical school orientation yesterday, and the amount of debt we could potentially accrue pretty much scared the crap out of my class. From that standpoint, I would personally try to minimize debt, especially with graduate students getting screwed over by Congress with the elimination of subsidized graduate student loans.</p>
<p>In your situation, I might even consider a backup plan(s) for med school and then compare Michigan vs. Wake Forest from that perspective. Even if you are adamant now, I believe only 1/3 of pre-medical students make it to matriculation.</p>
<p>Best of luck with your decision.</p>
