Read the two messages from @Aust and @tamagotchi that followed my previous one.
That’s my point - for better it = a strong gpa and strong mcat - not St. Louis vs. Salisbury or UW vs. UW (Wyoming).
They’re all equally as good - if you deliver the gpa, test scores and other activities such as shadowing.
You have a gift from U of AZ - not to mention the Honors dorm is awesome with a dining hall at the bottom and gym adjacent. I was floored when I visited.
Take advantage.
