<p>Thanks for the great advice, but I have a follow-up question. Are you implying that if I get a slightly lower MCAT and a slightly lower GPA at UMICH than at UIUC that I’ll have an equal chance at getting into med if I were to get a higher GPA and higer MCAT at UIUC. Also, isn’t Michigan a much better institute for research? That’s also part of the application process of med school. Overall, do you think that Michgan’s reputation and research programs are so much better that they are worth the extra money?</p>
