<p>Well, for starters, you should probably look at placement statistics for both institutions (obviously, you’re going to have to assume that you do relatively well on the MCAT’s). Second off, you should be able to make sure that you can get research opportunities. I mean, if you can get into a highly regarded lab and get your name on even one paper that is going to be published in Nature, Science, etc. (obviously, you’ll probably only get one if you’re lucky as getting a paper published takes forever), then you will most likely be getting invited to many interviews come med school application time. Third off, I’m not sure about this next point, but I’ve heard that pre-med is a GPA killer at UChicago and a low GPA and acceptance into a good med school = not happening (if you can get 3.2+ then you might be fine, but even then it’s iffy). I don’t know why you would do pre-med anyways. Do another major and just take the bio, biochem, etc. classes that you need for med school and your GPA will not only go up, but you’ll have more time to dedicate to research (and you might get more sleep!). And before you just disregard my advice because you see that I am just a high school senior, my dad was on the admissions committee for med school at, supposedly, one of the top 15 med schools in the country, so I basically got all my info from what I picked up from him. But, there’s prolly someone on these forums that knows this stuff better than me, so I’d trust them over me lol.</p>
