[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should really research placement stats for both schools. Also whether you want to spend that much $ on undergrad and then potentially med school if it comes to pass. Remember that college GPA and MCAT score need to be high, so [b]consider where that is more likely to happen[/b].[/quote]

Can you explain how anyone not attending both schools simultaneously would be able to discern this with any degree of certainty? [/quote]

A lot of people will be making the same decision as you.  If they all decide on Maryland because it should be easier, then you are screwed thinking you are with less competitive kids.
I am beginning to think that your chance to get into med school will be the same which ever you choose.  There is some indication that school ranking does matter, not just GPA.  But I think the most important thing is where you will be happiest which is not something I know how to assess with just one or two visits.  Also if you want to go to the same medical school as your undergrad then you may get a slight preference.
