case western would be the better choice since it is the more prestigious school. i have been told that pitt’s med school does not care whether or not you are an undergrad of pitt(i hope i understand that right when you say better opportunities at pitt). so just go for the more prestigious school.



I don’t think you know anything about medical school admissions if you’re saying this. Prestige is subjective, and if someone were to compare rankings of the two there is not an enormous difference between the rank of Pitt and Case (41 vs. 56). We’re not comparing Harvard vs. Podunk U here. Not to mention it has been rehashed many times on CC and elsewhere that prestige may play a small part but don’t expect the name of a school to make up for a not-so-great gpa.
