Lesson number one (this is very important):

Do NOT make an undergrad decision based on the Med school associated with the school.

That said…frankly I think you are making an enormous mistake to be discounting UND.

Sure it is a Catholic university (and you are Jewish) but there are plenty of non Catholic, non Christian students there and it is by far the highest ranked (and most selective) school you are considering. In fact, being Jewish at UND might even be helpful to you come application time. It’s about a four and a half hour drive from Cleveland and it’s alumni are among the most loyal and are part of one of the most amazing networks of any school, including Ivies.

Getting a UND education for less than $50K should NOT be taken lightly and will serve you well not only in Med school applications but also do FAR more for you later on in life than either Pitt or CWRU.

Add to everything else the fact that you will have an incredible undergrad experience on one of the most beautiful campuses in the US vs living in University Circle or Oakland…there’s no comparison here…

Do yourself a favor and take another real serious look at UND.
