My husband and I went to grad school here but did our Undergrad in India and new to this whole process. We appreciate any advice as we navigate through this. Thank you!

She can take the required courses for medical school applicants at any of these colleges.
You might want to think how grad or medical school will be funded. Medical school will likely be $100,000 a year or more. There are some proposed changes to grad plus loans (eliminating them), and the aggregate amount of federally funded Direct loans students will be able to take. If these pass Congress, federally funded loans will not be enough to fund medical school.
I think it is important to think about finances beyond the 4 years of college, given the possibility of med school and the changes that might be coming to the federal student loan program.
She can be premed at any of these schools. I would consider affordability.
