| They are all good schools. Go to the one you get into. All are competitive. |

| I wouldn't pay full-fees for private unless I were rich. Your debt load will determine your specialty. |

| Not sure about Med schools but I thought any accredited US med school has acceptance level around 1.5%, more difficult to get in than Harvard undergrad. Any acceptance is an accomplishment. |

Maryland outranks all of the schools you listed on the US News and World Report list of primary medicine medical schools. (There is a separate one for research--some says this matters more.)
https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-medical-schools/primary-care-rankings?_mode=table But really all medical schools in the U.S. are good. If you are a Maryland resident you will save a lot of money by going in state. Where you go to medical school matters less than where you do your residency in terms of prestige within your specialty. |
