I think the difference in money is definitely something to consider. However I disagree with frugaldoctor. ND does a phenomenal job at getting kids into med school. The weed out courses weed out kids who don’t have the passion for it, which you seem to have, so you should be fine. I was just at an accepted students program at ND (for the College of Science, I want to go to med school too) and I can tell you that ND will provide you with awesome opportunities and provide great support for an aspiring med student. Also, ND is working to expand on their research so there are plenty of opportunities in undergraduate research for you and you could easily start freshman year. The Harper Cancer Research Institute and very new and a great facility at ND. Is it worth the extra money? I am not sure. I would say that depends on how much you like UNC, but UNC is also a great school.
