Virginia Commonwealth University vs Christopher Newport University

Hello everyone!
I am going to be a future pre-med student. But I am stuck between which school is best for pre-med. I am aware that it doesn’t really matter which college you go too to be able to make it into med school. But I want to pick a school that is academically serious and can help me with the pre-med track. I also want to go to a school with the better research opportunity. Please help me. I do not want to regret my choice.
