Wisconsin or Ohio State?

Coming from a biochem major here at UW, the chemistry department is excellent - lots of great research opportunities and overall excellent instructors. The chemistry department also has some great honors options if you’re looking for a challenge, but the regular instructors are in general very good and well received by students. Some of my favorite TAs have also come from the chemistry department as well. Overall, there is just a lot of really good science going on here.

But it’s probably roughly similar across the three - they’re all big, well respected public universities that should adequately prepare you for med school applications as long as you work hard. All three almost definitely have university hospitals of their own, so you shouldn’t have any issues finding nearby clinical volunteer opportunities. I would lean towards somewhere that would save you more money - the med school application process isn’t cheap.
