I am down to picking two schools they are both very cheap to attend. I was wondering if any of you all had insight to which college would provide a better pre-med program and possibly help me get into a top medical school?
Why is Earlham college cheap for you?
They are totally different types of colleges. One is a State college while the other is a small liberal arts college. Both have specific types of students, faculty and departments that will differ in a distinct way, as well as what you might be required to study while being a premed.
Whether either will get you into a top medical college is questionable since it is usually what the person accomplishes that gets them places more than what college they attend.
Earlham is pretty cheap if you got that stats. They have a really nice scholarship for those with high ranks and GPAs,

How is Earlham cheap for you? Did you already get your FA pkg? If so, what was in it?

What was your real score?
Yes Earlham College is now only 8k a year so 4k a semester, I have received my FA package already so it is confirmed. Please I just want to compare schools.
So both institutions are affordable, I am just considering which to pick.
Have you visited Earlham? It is a warm, welcoming, supportive community. Diverse, tolerant. All the science facilities are new, renovated or being renovated.
No I have not, I am flying in through their program to visit them in April. Glad to know they have a welcoming environment.
I agree with @texaspg 's comments. Neither college with “get you into med school”. So choose where you feel you fit best and have the best chance of doing your best.
If it were me, I would choose Earlham as small LACs can often given students better opportunities to grow and smaller classes. And Earlham has a great reputation.
