Xavier is a solid pre-professionally oriented school, notable for their Pharm. program, but with good Bio and pre-med advising. I know two graduates (in education) who went on to PhD’s after undergrad at XULA, who are now professors at California schools, although they were not originally from CA.
Two things that you’ll want to remember for a pre-med; the ability to achieve a high GPA, and keeping undergrad costs as low as possible.
Sounds like Xavier could fit the bill, as it would not likely be quite as cut-throat competitive to be a pre-med major as at many of the UC/CSU schools.
