“Better known for premed.” Ughhh. Sorry. Hear this over and over again. Why does this misconception refuse to die. Fallacy of determining pre-med school based on affiliated med school. Totally, totally disconnected issues. Mistake made by legions of HS students applying to college. Personally, I’d work hard to avoid ANY campus where pre-meds dominate if I were pre-med (as indeed I once was).

Forget the “better” question. Neither of these schools is “better” in and of itself for pre-professional preparation of any kind. Go to the place where you think you’ll better enjoy these next four years.
