<p>They are very different settings. You should really go where you would be most comfortable and successful. A 3.9 GPA is not going to look any better coming from Pitt vs Scranton. The advantage of Pitt’s setting is it having a massive biomedical research and hospital complex right on campus (5th most NIH funding in the nation), so the opportunities to do things that can pad your med school application, like doing significant undergraduate research with the possibility for publication is substantially greater. Having it all on the undergrad campus also helps facilitate scheduling things like research and shadowing/volunteering around a busy undergraduate academic and social schedule. But, where you’ll feel most comfortable for the next several years should also factor in quite heavily.</p>
