Rutgers Vs. UMich

<p>So i got into Rutgers and The University of Michigan (Ann-Arbor) and i was wondering if anyone had any opinions on which to consider. Being from New Jersey, Rutgers is obviously the easier choice being close to home and paying in-state tuition, but Michigan is also a great school. My plan is to go to medical school after my undergraduate education so any school better over the other?</p>

<p>I know UMichigan has a better reputation, but I also know a lot of people that got into very good graduate programs coming out of Rutgers.</p>

<p>If money is a consideration, I would definitely choose Rutgers. It is about half of what UMich will cost you and if you have good stats (which I assume because you got into Michigan) you might get Merit aid to make it even cheaper. Use the money you save for the best medical school you can get into.</p>

<p>But of course the final choice is yours.</p>

<p>the cheaper school is the better school if you want to go into medicine.</p>

<p>Rutgers sciences are plenty good. UM offers a better campus and overall environment. How much is over $20,000/year worth to you and your parents?</p>
