Help building a list of reaches [NC resident, 3.5?, 32, pre-med/dental]

Hey @Durham1972, this episode of YCBK profiles Guilford College.
(01:55:25) Lisa does a College Spotlight on Guilford College in Greensboro, NC

Two things that stood out to me is the very high acceptance rate into medical schools as claimed by the college (~75%) and support for kids with learning differences and needs. The host was raving about support and advising. Definitely worth a listen.
While rank and prestige are important to a lot of kids and parents, fit is often overlooked. Where a kid goes to college has no bearing on medical school admissions based on surveys of committee members. So, if medical school is the goal, I would look for fit first.
