first an unrelated question: was it from the duke waitlist?
onto the rest... With the goal of med school, this gets a lot harder. Full ride vs. prestige is a tough pickk but I think that the UR scholarship's 'assistance with finding internships/shadowing' is a slight edge to UR.

All of that help from UR is insane, my god, I think you’ll find more success from a school willing to support you that much

Im literally at VCU rn 💀
also personally id go UR for pre med but ngl i see why u wanna gtfo
also VCU while beig pretty mid overall is good for medicine being like the only Level 1 trauma center in central VA is very respected
id say for wut u wanna do giving up the undergrad prestige is worth it in this case, can save more towards med school, not completely displace ur life (moving is hard trust me) and have significantly more support from ur school

all imma say, just bc i have personal experience on this front, if you do BME at duke and get a 3.0 or higher - it's essentially guaranteed admission into duke med
