I can give you my perspective of the U as a parent of a recent graduate. My S graduated with a science major and a minor and he is now in medical school. For pre-meds, the academics are very vigorous and challenging. However, many classes are relatively small, and my S had excellent access to most of his professors. He had many options to perform research, volunteer, and shadow doctors, which are all things that are required to apply to medical school. The pre-med advising office is excellent and well organized in my opinion. I highly recommend the U for pre-med.
