<p>Is U of A good for pre-med? Do they have many opportunities for internships, volunteering, jobs, research, etc? If you went to U of A for pre-med, what is it like? I was also thinking of majoring in biology there. What is the biology program like at U of A? Does it prepare you for the MCAT? Thanks so much!</p>

<p>I know that you’re trying to go OOS for college. We can better help you if you give us more info…</p>

<p>1) What is your GPA?</p>

<p>2) What are your test scores?</p>

<p>3) What state are you in?</p>

<p>4) How much will your parents pay?</p>

<p>Virtually all big schools are fine for pre-med. However, not all schools are equally affordable. I know that you were looking at some UCs OOS. If you were to need FA or merit, those schools wouldn’t be affordable. </p>

<p>You’ll want to avoid debt as a pre-med student since med school usually requires debt.</p>

<p>I actually live in Arizona. University of Arizona is one of the state colleges.</p>

<p>As you have read on SDN, U of A is a fine undergraduate choice.</p>

<p>UAZ and ASU are fine for pre-med.</p>

<p>I know that you’re looking at UCLA and some other schools which is why I posted as I did. UCLA would NOT be worth the OOS costs for premed.</p>

<p>Most of my medical school class in Tucson were UA graduates. About 1/4 were from ASU. The rest were from USC, Stanford, Duke, Colorado College, NAU, Wyoming, and maybe a few others. All but one were Arizona residents.
The UA grads did exceptionally well in med school, and many got prestigious residencies.</p>

<p>On the other hand, I don’t know any UA undergrads that went to med schools outside the state, but I wasn’t an undergrad there.</p>

<p>Tucson is a great college town, especially if you’re from Phoenix!</p>
