<p>I'm a junior and I'm pre-med. I was accepted to economics at Notre Dame and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I'm an Illinois resident so tuition at UIUC is one-fourth of what I'd pay at ND and I was wondering if it was worth it.</p>
<p>I have already taken gen chem, gen bio, and orgo one and two. I went to Saint Louis University which i think would be a lot less competitive than both ND and UIUC. The stats at UIUC for med school is abt a 45% acceptance rate while at ND it's abt 87% (but i think the caliber of students is higher at ND though too).</p>
<p>I'm just worried that if I go to ND since it is so competitive that I will not do very well even I do study a ton since ALL the kids are really smart. But I also heard that UIUC has a killer pre-med program and terrible advising. In the end, i just want to go to wherever I can get a higher GPA and where I have a higher chance of getting into medical school. UIUC is still a good school but ND has the name value. What would be better for me in the long run? Thanks so much!!</p>
