WUE College suggestions (Biology major/ pre-med)

UNM offers WUE, Colorado Reciprocal and Amigo Scholarships. Hospital and med school on the north side of main campus.

And with your GPA/SAT, you’d be eligible for the Regents Scholarship–full tuition plus room & board. But applications are due by Dec 1. Hurry if you’re interested.

Also, what about UC-Colorado Springs? CU SOM has a medical campus there as well as in Aurora.

Truthfully, just about any college in the US offers the coursework needed for med school. Getting the necessary ECs–shadowing, community service, clinical volunteering, research experience–that’s all on the student. Most colleges–even smallish LACs-- have research opportunities. (And if not, there are a plethora of summer research programs). Clinical experiences does not need to be done at hospital, and especially not at Level 1 research hospital. (Hospices, nursing homes, long term care facilities, community health clinics, Planned Parenthood all may offer more meaningful clinical volunteer service opportunities than handing out magazines to people waiting in the ER at university hospital. Less competition for those volunteer slots too.) Community service with the less fortunate–that can be done anywhere.
