[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pitt is strong in the life sciences.[/quote]
Speaking as a Pitt grad, yes I do agree they are very strong in life sciences. Excellent medical school to boot!

But...the freshmen science classes are weed-out classes. Is DD absolutely, 100% set on medical school? If so, I would go to an SLAC so she doesn't have to deal with weed-out classes. If she is having problems with bio, chemistry, o-chem I think she would be more easily able to get help from her professor at an SLAC than at Pitt.

If she is not 100% set on medical school, the good thing about Pitt is she can try it. If she doesn't like those science classes, she would have more opportunities to try different majors.

Signed - a victim of those freshman weed out science classes who changed majors when she realized she wouldn't be attending Pitt's pharmacy school as a sophomore. [/quote]
This sounds like most hard science-based or engineering classes at any medium-large university.  So, yes, a small college might give you more attention. 
Pitt is surrounded by outstanding internship opportunities.  [/quote]
