I recently got accepted into UVA and William and Mary and I would like to know which one is better for a pre-med student. Which one has the better research opportunities, volunteering opportunities, professors, advising, etc?
Does either have a problem with GPA deflation, or an unmanageable workload for pre-med students (probably majoring in a biology field)?
Which one has a better acceptance rate into good med schools?
Thanks for your help!
Not sure how important this is, but for attaining clinical experience, the UVA Medical Center (I think the best ranked hospital in Virginia) is located literally adjacent to grounds.
Both could work. Take a look at these sites:

How you do at your chosen school is more important than the school’s reputation. Go to the school where you believe you will be engaged and interested in learning. The better you do academically, the better your profile is apt to be.
