I agree with Richard. Your particular college is not as important as your undergraduate grades, your MCAT score, your letters of reference, and your personal statements on your medical school application. For now, just focus on finding a major that really interests you in college. You can focus on where you go to medical school from there.

Richard’s Answer
In the US, to apply to medical school, you need a bachelor's degree. Any 4-year university should suffice.
Pick a college that fits your personality and a major that interests you so you don't mind devoting a majority of your hours to studying. You will need to get good grades in college in order to apply for medical school. At the medical school I attended, the average GPA is reported to be 3.85, so even one or two B's can hurt your chances of acceptance.
I went to a state university for college and medical school to save money. Private schools are much more expensive and everything I use on a daily basis was learned in residency (the training performed after graduating from medical school).
