I may have overlooked it, but I’m not sure where homebase is for you and if transportation costs are at all a factor. Also, I’m sure you are aware UF will require you to spend the summer on campus. Having lived there for many years attending grad school there it can get pretty hot, but certainly if you are from Texas he would understand that! If cost is a factor, you should not worry at all about the “name“ of either school. Keep your grades up and do well on the MCAT and maybe take a year off after college to work in the field when you apply. If money is a factor you want to save that for medical school if you’re certain that is the direction you will take. So many students change their majors. It’s a difficult four-year decision. I know someone whose son literally chose The day he was supposed to start his classes for med school not to go. So things happen.
