If you mean passively through major requirements, then a biology major at any college will cover all of the stuff you need for the MCAT.

Pick the school where it will be the easiest to maintain a high GPA. Perhaps that's Vandy since it's a high-ranked private school, but I have 0 idea if that's true.

Depends on your own performance and preparation for college science coursework. Depends on how much you take advantage of any help to first-year students taking big lecture courses. I assure you they all have no problem with content or help to prepare for the MCAT. The ones you chose all have medical schools after all.

Vandy grad here- at Vandy, the neuroscience major lets you get all the major premed requirements out of the way as part of the major.

More importantly, this should absolutely not be the basis by which you decide where to go to school. Go wherever makes the most financial sense or wherever you think you'll be the most happy.

Go to whichever school you enjoy the most. Please for goodness sake, do not pick where you'll spend your next 4 years based on some abstract idea of pre-med rankings, departments, etc. If you're a sports fan, go to the state school you loved the most (you'll feel more connected). Go to a cheaper school--unless you have family ties to any of those private schools, or you swing a scholarship that makes it cheaper than attending a state school, then you should stay away from them. Major in whatever interests you. A biology or biochem degree will technically cover your requirements, but you can major in history, art, or music, and still knock out the med school requirements and your MCAT prepwork if you really want to and still graduate within 4 years.

As you age and progress through this process, you'll start to learn that the #1 determinant of your future prospects and your success is your own charisma and drive. Where you go to undergrad really doesn't matter.

Thank You all for your suggestions.

I agree with the others that you shouldn't base your school or major decision on the MCAT. Just make sure you get in the classes you need. I do recommend trying to do well in your gen chem/bio courses and tutoring for one of them. It really helps with long-term maintenance and deepening your understanding of the topics. It goes a long way in making later courses much easier, and the MCAT study for those subjects a breeze.

Pick the school where you feel like you fit in the best. If you're happy, your grades will reflect that. Biology covers pretty much all of the pre-reqs, usually, but you should buy a MSAR to be sure.
