<p>Go to the place where you can accomplish the most...where that's at, only you know. I tend to feel that having to work full time to pay your way through school is a sizable hurdle to you academic and co-curricular success. Certainly not at all impossible to overcome, but a hurdle nonetheless in my opinion. However this is a question that only you can really accurately judge. You have to know your personality. Are you going to resent yourself if you go to UF and be unhappy, perhaps to the point where it impacts your school work? What would happen if you go to UNC and still don't get into med school, how would you feel?</p>
