I was deciding between Pitt and Case last year with the same scholarship amounts. I chose Pitt. If you’re talking about opportunities, I would say that Pitt has a slight edge over Case in terms of research and volunteering. At Pitt, you have UPMC on campus and other branches a short walk or bus ride away. Case has a nice hospital on campus too, but it is not as encompassing of the area as UPMC is in western Pennsylvania (IIRC however the Cleveland Clinic is ~1 mile away from the Case campus). Also IMO, Pittsburgh > Cleveland as a city.

I’d look at that Notre Dame offer again as well. ND may have an affiliation but they still do have a sizable number of students and faculty who don’t identify with that affiliation.
