I disagree with some of Miami DAP’s statements. You mention U Mich. I received my undergrad business degree from there over 30 years ago. I also have a business masters. I know relatives and friend’s kids who have recently gone through the U Mich B school. I would not say it is more peaceful, less stressful, no job security and low compensated. It is alot of work and alot of stress to attain the undergrad business degree at UMich ( or other top b-schools). The academics are challenging. If you major in accounting and want to be a CPA, the CPA exam is much harder and longer than the MCAT. Starting undergrad business salaries are surely less than what a new doctor would make, but over time there are many business people that earn salaries much higher than doctors ( CEO, CFOs, etc.)

My S just finished his undergrad with a science major ( not at Mich) and will start medical school this fall. He also worked his butt off to maintain a high GPA and do well on MCAT. So do what you want at U Michigan, you can’t go wrong.
