I think the ‘elitisr’ vibe comes from WashU having a large number of students from higher income brackets, although I never got that feeling and my kid has enjoyed his experience so far.

Research opportunities are pretty easy to find, even for freshmen. One of the advantages for pre-med at WashU is that you will get an advisor to go along with your major advisor and 4 year advisor. There are also classes cross listed with Biology that explains the medical school application process and allows students to shadow at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

OP, are you a big sports fan? If so then Michigan might be the place with college football and the Big House. WashU is Division 3. Some people may think that life in Ann Arbor revolves around sports and defeating Ohio State.

One more factor might be how easy it is to get a good BCPM GPA. I would think that it would be just as hard to get a high GPA in science courses at UM as it is at WashU.

It’s yoir decision. Are you more comfortable at UM given its student body size as opposed to a smaller graduating class at WashU?
