I would avoid getting too caught up in prestige. It’s overrated, especially for a field like medicine. If you do go to medical school, the loans will be ridiculously expensive, and large amounts of undergraduate loans will severely limit your career options. The vast majority “doctor ambitious” high school graduates, in fact, don’t go to medical school at all. They find passions in other things. I would suggest going to an affordable university with a wide variety of marketable majors. Whether you choose medicine or not, you can’t go wrong either way.
