<p>Hi guys, I'm torn between these two schools and wanted see your input. I'll be taking the premed track and majoring in biology. Case gave me $30,000 and UM gave me $22,400 plus I'll be in the honors program here. So I'm assuming having an honors education at UM will be as good, if not better than Case's. Also I'm not sure if the social appeal of UM will be worth the extra $7,600 per year. I've taken tours at both schools in the past two weeks, so I have a decent feel for them, however not a complete one of both.</p>
<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Don’t know much about case western but if Miami was offering me that much money I’d take it.</p>
<p>Where is the extra $7,600 x 4 years going to come from? Are the Stafford Loans in those aid packages? Do the packages account for summer jobs?

<p>The standard advice for pre-med students, is to complete your degree as inexpensively as possible and with the least amount of debt possible so that you have money left for med school.</p>
