what are the best colleges in the bay for premed?
Stanford
I don’t know about pre-med but the only schools worth a damn in the bay (in my opinion) would be:
USF
SCU
Stanford
SJSU
SFSU
CSU East Bay
St Mary’s of CA
UC Berkeley
If we extend out to Sac or Sonoma or Stockton there will be even more options but IMO those don’t count as the bay.
UC Santa Cruz is not geographically in the SF Bay Area, but it’s not far away. You could make a case that Santa Cruz is culturally part of the Bay Area.
Santa Cruz is probably more in the culture of the Bay Area than St. Mary’s, depending on which culture you’re talking about. 
Bahaha the annoying hippy part 
Only kidding, but I totally understand what you guys are getting at.
the OP simply didn’t share enough to provide a valuable answer. budget, qualifications, interests, etc will get you a better answer.
Mills has a postbac for premed
