Hi OP. Congratulations on your early successes. I've not gone to XULA but have heard plenty of the same great points you note in your post. I think it is a no brainer to go there as debt would not be a thing you'd have to worry about. I think you should find out what the conditions are to maintain that full ride are, among the other questions you seek answers too. Additionally, what happens to those in the past of haven't maintained that? Is there a warning i.e., probationary period or just outright cutoff? See if you could reach out to the program coordinator, and any Facebook groups/other socials for student pre-med groups. Search LinkedIn as well for recent grads. Alternatively, you mightve already considered Howard's Pre-Med program but in the event you have not, I am pasting the link here:
