<p>I know that the pre-medical curriculum is very tough regardless of the school that I go to but between the two schools in the header (UNC vs Pitt) which is the tougher school to get good grades? I have heard that the chemistry department at UNC is one of the most deflated departments in the school. I haven’t heard much about Pitt but I have also heard that the biology classes at Pitt are designed to be “weeder” classes. I know that I have to put in a lot of work but which school has the better professors and the not as tough pre-med classes? </p>
<p>Both are large universities with lots of premeds. You’ll have a lecturer +TAs at both. Both will have large lectures for freshmen and sophomores designed to weed out about half of them.
In terms of real differences, the only ones are 1° UNC-CH degree if you don’t make it = more prestigious, 2° Pitt is in a city vs. UNC CH is in a college town (both have their advantages), 3° UNC-Ch has a warmer climate but from April till September-october it’ll be very very hot and muggy.On the other hand, at Pitt it’ll be cold and snowy from December till March.</p>
<p>How much does each cost before loans?
Your #1 goal as a premed should be to decrease debt.</p>
