UVA echols Vs UPitt Honors with full tuition

<p>My son got admission into UVA scholars program. Also the Upitt honors program has given full tuition for us (VA residency). His ultimate goal is to go to good medical school.
1)
cost of attendence (UVA= tuition+room/board (25,774* 4)=~103K
Vs
cost of attendence (Upitt= room/board (12000* 4)=~48K </p>

<p>diff = 55K debt
2) Since the ultimate goal is to go to reputed med school. Greatly appreciate any inputs or prior experience which campus helps him to get medical exposure, standing out in class to get good recommendations and opportunity to do research and scope to publish papers to become a strong AMACS medical college applicant.</p>

<p>Could not find any information where the pre-med students from UVA get admissions into?</p>

<p>3) Any thoughts or inputs in neuro science major at both UVA (only25 students. no guarantee to get admission in to that major) VS Upitt bio engineering or biology or neuroscience majors.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance . We are so confused and greatly appreciate any inputs to give us some clarity.</p>

<p>Sincerely
Schimdt Sr.</p>

<p>i have heard that UPITT is a fantastic school. my friend went their and has completed his education with a 3.97 and a MCAT score of 34 (he thinks he deserves better so he is retaking it). UPITT definetley changed his output on life. instead of the lazy guy he was, he has become very caring and has left a very powerful influencial mark on me. I believe i will be apply there :P</p>
