UNM is stronger than AK State. Not sure if it’s better than Bama.

UNM’s bio and biochem departments are excellent. Chem is a bit weaker than bio. But if you’re interested in pre-med, there is s medical school and research hospital across the street from the undergrad campus which has a tons of new state of the art research labs. Plentiful research opportunities. Chem dept has research agreements with 2 DOE National Labs (Sandia, Los Alamos) plus the Air Force Research Lab on Kirtland AF Base. Sandia and AFRL are both in town and easily accessible from campus. Los Alamos is about 1.25 hours away.

The Amigo is for OOS students only and remits the OOS portion of tuition.

The Regents is a full ride for in-state students.

If you get the Regents, you automatically get the Amigo if you’re OOS.

The Regents is a competitive scholarship and is not guaranteed. It also has a earlier deadline than regular admission–please check the link for details.

(P.S. The weather in NM is nicer than Alabama’s weather…plus we have mountains and skiing only 35 minutes from campus. You can get to the base of the tram by city bus! Really.)
