UC San Diego or UMichigan for Premed?

What is the difference in cost? Which is more affordable? That’s something to think about, especially if you’re going to Med School.

You need to think about which school is a better fit. Would you rather be in scenic Ann Arbor or San Diego? San Diego is a bit smaller. Consider that too. Both have similar social scenes. Michigan has a better rep, if you take advantage of opportunities at UCSD you can be just as successful. Additionally, Michigan has a bigger sports scene if you want that.

However, the difference in med school acceptance rates are huge. That is something to consider. But, if you think UCSD is a better fit and works out better financially, I would give more consideration to UCSD.

Personally, I like Michigan better but only if they are equal in costs.
