<p>You seem to like big state universities. Have you considered the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill? It has a good academic reputation, and people really seem to like it there. It’s known for being a friendly place.</p>

<p>Zap, I don’t know your financial situation but your scores and grades could put you in very good merit aid position if you aren’t worried about ultra-elite schools for undergrad and would like to have no debt. </p>

<p>You might want to looks at some of the LACs with strong pre-med depts. LACs do a great job on the ‘friendliness/access’ catagories in your OP. Grinnell is one with very good merit aid. Ursinus is also very good premed. </p>

<p>You could search curmudgeon’s posts; his D is getting a full ride at Rhodes; turned down Yale and Amherst because she plans on med school later.</p>
