| Well, as a future USP scholar in medicine in the c/o '12, I guess I could answer any questions prospects have about the program. The requirements are a 3.8 gpa and 36 MCAT, which sounds very intimidating, but from what I have heard from current USP students, is not impossible, and the program provides you with great advising. Pretty much all of the students that I have met are doing research or have done some within the past year or so.
In regards to how hard the program is to actually get into, it is very competitive. I do not think they have a set number that they accept each year, but I think it's around 20 students invited to campus for interviews and 5 selected for the program, though there is an alternate list as most students invited to interviews get admitted to just about every school they apply to, and several turn down the offer. Hope this helps! Any more questions, just post here of PM me, and I will try my best to answer it for you or ask someone who may know more about it. |
