Deciding between Pitt vs Case Western as a biology major with a pre med track.
Pitt
Pros: cheaper than case at 47 K a year
Honors college
Cons: 60% pre med matriculation rate to equal or slightly worse medical schools

Case Western
Pros: 80% pre med matriculation rate to great medical schools
Cons: 80 K a year
I like both campuses. I think Case would be better for me academically, but I don't know if 80 K is worth it especially since I will also have medical school costs.

Pitt also has UPMC which is one of the largest healthcare providers in the entire northeast

#

Literally there’s 5 UPMC hospitals in walking distance of my dorms

Every premed student and their goldfish does research or works there
