hey guys, i'm just graduating from highschool and was wondering which school is better for premed temple U or Arcadia U. does it matter what undergrad you attend before medical school? i do not really know which to choose but i really like Arcadia. please let me know if my decision of choosing Arcadia U over other schools will hurt my chances with medical schools.

It doesn't matter. Go to Arcadia and do well there.
 
Where you will be happier matters a lot more than any minor differences in premed rigor between such similar universities. If you definitely like Arcadia more for some reason (like size difference compared to temple) then definitely go there.
 
It only matters if it's an Ivy or other top private school, and even then you still have to do well. (Let's not argue over whether attending a more prestigious school helps...ceterus paribus, it does.) I doubt many people here have even heard of Arcadia, so between your choices, it doesn't matter. Find the cheapest one.
