Not reading the entire thread deeply but there’s unlikely a college in the country where you cannot practice your faith and I don’t see how it would be corrupted. And as a future doctor diversity of all things is your friend.
You are labeling high level schools - they are expensive unless you get aid.
Just perusing I see you are catholic. I’m guessing there’s been lots of mentions of schools from Notre Dame to Holy Cross to Gtown to SCU and LMU and Gonzaga, Providence, Portland, Creighton, etc.
I’d be worried about 8 years of school - the cost and less about my religion. Many go to religious schools but don’t practice their religion. Many go to public schools or private non religious and do.
You might find a public with Honors or a high merit school to keep your cost in check.
In many ways, short of required courses at some schools, your faith is personal and will be practiced as you determine.
Here’s an old chat - but maybe there’s some ideas missed. For some reason it keeps opening to message 21 so you’ll have to scroll up to start at the beginning
I do see Alabama mentioned a lot - and so you know more than 1k from CA attend, they have the McCullough Pre Med Studies program and if you have a great test score, you might be $20k a year (lots of savings for med school). There are many other names as well - and some posts by continued posters.
Good luck.
