Rochester vs SUNY for postbacc?

Hello everyone.

I need to complete my pre-req’s for med school (almost 36 years old and already have my bachelors, just need pre-reqs).

I have been accepted into:

- University of Rochester (10% scholarship)
- St John Fisher University (50% scholarship)
- SUNY (cheap anyway)

I guess my question is - Does it matter? Would having one of these names on my med-school school applications help more than another?

If my in-state schools (SUNY) don’t end up accepting me, would an OOS school look more favorably on Rochester pre-reqs than one of the others?

Sorry to bother you two, but no one else answered and you’re the experts here haha. Any advice here?

Only the tuition.

No.

Thank you Goro!

I can't say I've ever seen any students with post-bacs from those schools but it might be my catchment area and not the lack of students from those schools. I doubt that it would matter much if at all.
