^because a LOT more kids try than succeed (few kids succeed even at their own med school), and even though they have premed advising, the med school is NOT the undergrad program; also, MCAT does matter, and peer quality does affect med school preparation.
(I grant you that the phrasing “med school advising” was not the best, but sometimes I type fast and I don’t weigh every word… it conveys the essence of what I think.)
Roadto34 is not a marginal student who may have trouble in a more competitive program; this is a very competitive student, who would be challenged but by no means is unqualified for good grades at UMich or Michigan State.
Come on, if your son with a 33 ACT got into Bama and Jackson State, would you really advocate Jackson State?
UMichigan and Michigan State both offer good financial aid, with Umichigan being very good for in-state residents. I did ask if OP’s parents can pay for UMichigan without debt, but if OP can make it to either Umich or Michigan State financially, I really think they’d be a better choice.
