Pre-Med at Georgetown, Notre Dame, and Michigan

[Zinhead]

Michigan would offer nothing worth $160k in comparison to Rutgers or TCNJ, which are instate for this student and where accelerated programs are offered.

The original poster did not mention it, but they are probably better off going to Rutgers in-state and saving the money. Michigan is a fine school but, unless you bleed maize and blue, going there for pre-med makes no financial sense. At least with Notre Dame and Georgetown, they will get preferential admissions treatment if they apply to Catholic medical/dental schools.
