I see Wofford is on your list. They have great premed opportunities and outcomes and give good merit. Great professors, beautiful campus, and walking distance to downtown Spartanburg with outdoor beer gardens, multiple coffee shops, bagels, bookstores, art galleries, restaurants etc.
Specifically with premed they have January term with shadowing. This is great because the school sets up the rotation, you don’t have to rely on your own connections or “cold-emailing” physicians. Students usually get more than 100 hours of shadowing with a variety of specialities. This is great exposure to the diversity of medicine.
The airport GSP has multiple direct flights to ORD (and elsewhere).
Good luck with your list building!
