pyroqueen, I’ll put in a plug for Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. It’s a Jesuit school that is a health sciences powerhouse in the region. It is has a medical school on the campus which is unique. Research, especially biomedical, is surprisingly abundant and many premeds are involved in it. It is also easy to volunteer at the teaching hospital because it is so close. Creighton is also unique in that the medical school actively tries to accept creighton undergrads over other applicants. They even state this in the MSAR. This is a very unique advantage that is not seen at most other undergraduate schools. The advising is also great, with a PMED program that basically walks you through everything you need to know about being a successful premed. Creighton undergrad premeds are also accepted at all of the top medical schools like Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo, etc. even though the school doesn’t have a large national reputation. Anyway, Creighton is a great premed school that I would highly recommend checking out.
