re #15, former cc poster @norcalguy graduated from Cornell and attended a UC medical school.
He posted extensively about his premed experience, and about applying to medical schools.
Suggest OP do a search on his posts.
He had a good experience doing premed at Cornell.
I don’t recall him posting about any difficulty in logistics for interviews, etc.
But if he did it would be among his prior posts that you can read.
Whatever difficulty he did have, it obviously didn’t keep him from being admitted.
