Help me to decide UIC vs University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign pre-med

Help me to decide Pre-Med for my D, she got accepted into UIC Honors (Pre-Med track) and waiting for UIUC decision. Which one is better ?

Where do u feel more comfortable ? Which is more affordable. Which provides the campus your child desires.

Pre med can be done anywhere. Take the right classes. Get great grades. Get a strong MCAT

Do all the volunteer and other required things.

There’s no right answer except the school that fits your child best.

what @tsbna44 said!

“better” by what metrics?

The best bet for any pre-med student is a school that leaves them with no debt and in which they can shine, both academically and personally.

Thank you for your time!! I wanted to check which one is better for her MCAT preparation.

Honestly, neither. The core courses will cover the same material in more than sufficient detail. MCAT prep groups / cram courses are abundant everywhere.

Exactly!

The first question I’d ask is does she want to live in Chicago or Champaign. They are almost diametrically opposed.
