In addition to what @Gator88NE said above, it is an excellent school for premed because:
- highly ranked hospital and medical school right on campus for easy access to doctors and volunteer activities
- large research budget allow numerous options to participate in research
- being Florida’s flagship university that is ranked in Top 10 public colleges gives your degree a solid reputation.
If you graduate with a high GPA and get a top score on the MCAT, you’ll be on almost equal footing than those with degrees from the likes of Princeton or Duke.
