Should I settle for a school I don't love?

They do offer the pre-reqs but that’s really the bare minimum for med school apps as I understand it. I meant opportunities for undergrad research, connections to physicians/mentors… things that make you a competitive applicant.

As far as reapplying, I should have been more clear. If I don’t go to UNCC, I would be casting a much wider net and look at out of state schools like University of Washington. I probably will not reapply to UNC or Wake- my decision is really whether I want to go through the transfer app process again or not.
