So, I got into Wayne State and they gave me a distinguished scholarship so I only really have to pay $15,000 for four years. I also got into Michigan State University, and University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I want to study medicine, more specifically if it matters, Emergency Medicine. It has always been my dream to do EM, and now I can choose a path to make my dream a reality. So this is the dilemma. Some people are telling me to go to WSU since it is an easier school to get a high GPA, and I will have more free time to do things like volunteer, research, and study for MCAT. Other people tell me to go to U-Mich since it will give me a higher chance to get into medical school. HELP! I don’t know what to do. My gut feeling is telling me to go to WSU. I don’t care where I go to medical school, as long as it is IN STATE. Also, if I decide to go to WSU, what should my GPA be?

School - International Academy (#1 in Michigan, #9 U.S.A.)
GPA: 3.54 UW - 3.90 Weighted (My avg for Junior and Senior year UW is a 3.85)
ACT: 33 - yeah I didn’t get a 34 =(

The reason I posted my stats is because I wanted to get your opinion if I can handle U-Mich vs. WSU and what is the better option.
