<p>I just got accepted to the u of i as a transfer. I want to finish my major in history and take premed classes. How is the u of i for a premed? Are there a lot of research opportunities? How is the competitiveness level? Any information would help. Thanks!</p>
<p>Pretty good, I’d say. I’m going there for pre-med myself (hopefully). I do know that they have an excellent MCB program and if you graduate from UIUC you have a better chance of being accepted at its medical schools, which also happens to be one of the best in the nation. There are tons of research opportunities from what I’ve heard. Just do well in your classes and become familiar with your professors before asking. Pre-med is VERY competitive at UIUC, again, from what I’ve heard. </p>
<p>… I think. :)</p>
