Hi,

I am interested in pursuing a career in medicine and for the undergrad, and I am thinking of a majoring in Biochem or related Premed stream. I have following options available :


U Mich - LSA : No Scholarship
Case Western : 25K Scholarship
Urbana-Champaign Biochem - No Scholarship
Pittsburgh Honors College - 10K scholarship
Emory - Oxford - no scholarship


I am torn between U Mich and Case. U Mich has a better reputation, but it will cost almost 100K more for my undergrad. I plan to do post grad in a Med school, and I think Case is also a good choice with Cleveland Clinic around the corner where i can get plenty of opportunities to research/practical experience.

U Pitt Honors college is also the least expensive but I am not sure about the strength of their undergrad premed options. However finances are not my number one concern; if one school is significantly better, I am open to spending the extra money as long as their is a good Return on investment

I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the above choices and what in your view would make most sense.

Thanks for your feedback!!!
