How good is UVA's Sciences and research opportunities?

<p>Does UVA have a good science program, excellent research opportunitities, and how does it do in preparing students for the MCAT?</p>

<p>Re. undergraduate research, you have a lot of opportunities at UVa. Over 1/2 the student body does some type of research. Here's a site that you might find helpful:</p>

<p>Someone else has to chime in re. the MCAT since I didn't do the medical route.</p>
