Ok, here’s an out-of-the-box choice: UMN Rochester.
It’s a fit school, not at all the “traditional” college experience. Fewer than 800 students, only 2 majors and both are medical field related. If you want an exciting city, or school spirit, or big sports or big Greek, then this isn’t the school for you.
On the other hand, this school has a great record of shepherding students into medical school (and other medical careers.) It’s located right next door to the Mayo Clinic for mentoring, research, and clinical opportunities. These students are taken under the Mayo Clinic’s wings, and let me tell you, the Mayo Clinic takes care of its own. It also has a terrific track record of outcomes in underrepresented students: Pell, 1st Gen, URMs.
And the COA is the same whether in-state or OOS.
