<p>Fellow CC Members I need help between choosing one of the following two universities:</p>
<p>Case Western Reserve University with $20,000 scholarships. I am going to either major in biology or biomedical engineering.</p>
<p>I have also gotten into the University of Illinois which is in-state. I am planning to major in biochemistry or biology. I have been admitted to the James Scholar Honors Program at UIUC too.</p>
<p>My first dilemma is choosing the actual major to study. I want to either go off to medical school or get a job and go off to business school. Which major, biomedical engineering or biology or biochemistry would give me the best chances to get into medical school or business school? </p>
<p>Furthermore which school overall would be easier to receive higher grades and which has better placement into business/medical schools? Does the size of the University of Illinois hinder me from getting good teacher recommendations?</p>
<p>What about the locations of Cleveland and Urbana-Champaign? Does a declining city like Cleveland have any opportunities for a pre-med/pre-business student? Does Urbana-Champaign have any opportunities at all?</p>
<p>Any advice and help regarding the two universities would be helpful!</p>
