<p>UIUC is a great school, no question about it, but one fact concerns me, getting EC's for Medical school. My younger brother is applying to UIUC, but every Medical School we visited said the same thing, they want Something to the likes of Hospital work, and actual volunteer work, hangs on. The Question is, how are the EC's for UIUC, expecially regarding pre-meds? are there many opportunities for them to do volunteer and some degree of hospital experience (not literally hands on of course) or is it too isolated?</p>
<p>There are two hospitals in town, Provena and Carle. I am sure that you could find a way to SOMEHOW get a volunteer spot in one of them. The other thing that you can do (which my girlfriend did) is get a spot at a hospital over the summer when you get home. It doesn't matter where you are, your chances stem from what you do. If you want it bad enough, you can find a way to get clinical experience.</p>
