Choosing the best undergraduate program for a community college transfer student aiming for medical school

Our daughter did Davis.
She did the NPB coursework.

They have an awesome premed advising staff.

Also the school is collaborative- students work together. They study for their MCATs -together. The students are happy on that campus under all that stress.

The campus is between Sacramento, which is where the UC Davis hospital is located, and a train ride to Berkeley/San Francisco.

Also, because the university is located in the middle of farmland, there are a number of low-income, medically indigent agricultural workers and families who don’t have medical coverage and they go to clinics, in the surrounding area which are staffed by a large number of Davis student volunteers.
Your student needs to speak Spanish and have a medical Spanish dictionary. It’s kept in their right hand white coat pocket, almost always.

Our daughter got into five schools. UW Colorado, Texas, USC, and UCSF. She chose the most expensive place to live- UCSF

My suggestion would be to visit those schools and see where they would fit.
