Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, also known as Alabama A&M University or AAMU, is an accredited public, historically black university, Land-grant university located in Normal, Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama. AAMU is a member school of the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund.
Alabama A&M was established under the terms of the Morrill Act of 1890.
One of its most influential and longest-serving presidents was its fourth, Joseph Fanning Drake, who served from 1927 until 1962. Drake's appointment request by the legislature was made when he was previously Dean of the College at Alabama State College in Montgomery, Alabama.
The first library on the campus was built with funds from the Carnegie Foundation in 1904 for $12,000, and was named for its benefactor, Andrew Carnegie. In the 1940s, it was remodeled at a cost of $70,000 and provided additional book stacks and reading rooms. The library was two stories tall, and with a little over 4,000 square feet (370 m²); it served several purposes and housed the offices of the President, Business Manager and Treasurer, Home and Farm Demonstration Agents, the U.S. Post Office at Normal, and on the second floor, living quarters for male faculty.
In 1931, Miss Lucille A. Love, a graduate of the Library School at Hampton Institute, became the first professional librarian.
In 1947, the library was enlarged 5,000 square feet (460 m²), which reflected the college's growth. So rapid was the college's student growth that they even outgrew the nearly 10,000 square foot (930 m²) library, and in 1962, a new Reference Annex was added. In January 1968, a new 60,000 square foot (5,600 m²) library was completed and occupied and was named in honor of Dr. Drake. It was designed to house 300,000 volumes and 1,000 students.

UC-San Francisco is the premier medical school in the UC System. The only undergraduate programs are in nursing and pharmacy. The requirements would be similar to those of Berkeley. If you graduated in the top 10% of your class and have 1300+ SAT scores, you have a good chance of getting in.
The MD program, DDS program and other graduate graduate programs are extremely selective.
