<p>PACT is UT Dallas-UTSW :)</p>
<p>accepted to PACT :)</p>
<p>just got the email</p>
<p>UT PACT for me too!! Congrats everyone! :D</p>
<p>congrats PurpleFibonacci!</p>
<p>congrats guys! I’m assuming all of y’all got the full ride + stipend from UTD as well? PACT is definitely the best combined degree program in texas :)</p>
<p>did everyone get their pact decisions already? i live in the dfw area and didnt apply to shape so i dont know if that would impact when i receive my decision</p>
<p>i dont think SHAPE or FAME decisions have an impact on PACT admissions</p>
<p>ok thanks i was just wondering why i didnt receive it yet, i personally dont know anyone from dfw thats received notification so i wanted to see if someone in the area did</p>
<p>S accepted to Sophie Davis!! His first choice! Congrats to all those accepted to the schools of their choice and/or to a BA/MD program… Ivy decisions tomorrow, but doesn’t matter anymore!!</p>
<p>@Insanemom Congrats! I was accepted to Sophie too. Where else did he apply/get accepted? I’m trying to decide between Brooklyn and Sophoe right now to narrow things down as I wait to hear from NJMS…</p>
<p>Thebombingrange, congrats on your acceptances as well. S applied to sophie, hofstra 4+4, some Ivys, upper tier schools, 1 state school and Macaulay Brooklyn. Honestly, you have a tough decision ahead of you, but you can’t go wrong either way. It’s a matter of preference. My older S didn’t have a great experience at the Brooklyn BA/MD so this S didn’t apply. But that was his history, not yours. They both have their pros and cons. I suggest you go to the accepted students days and ask questions. Then go with your gut. Btw, we should wear our cc name tags at accepted student days!</p>
<p>What did he dislike about BC when he went there? Was it the program or the school?</p>
<p>On one hand, you’re taking most classes with regular CUNY students so it doesn’t have a feel of anything special (unless if you have macaulay also, that’s a benefit). And when you finish with all your requirements, GPA, community service every semester and MCAT, you could probably get into a better med school. Also, the attrition rate is 50% some years. BUT, I also know that some people loved it and went on to great residencies from downstate. You do have more options in the Brooklyn program. My younger S visited the two and liked the small community of sophie, and theidea of saving a year and decided that it was more for him.</p>
<p>My friend got into SD and Brooklyn College. He is excited to go to SD especially because this is a 7 year program with very cheap tuition. He said his friends in the SD program were accepted to NYU med school. My friend said he will do a fellowship in something once he graduates from SD to be the doctor he wants to be. I feel bad now because I wanted to apply to SD, but I did not. Instead, I applied ED for Cornell and got in there. Well, Cornell is a very good school.</p>
<p>I have been accepted to Siena/Albany and Drexel/Drexel… I have no idea what to do… Any suggestions?</p>
<p>@bombingrange thank you for finding out scholarship info!!</p>
<p>@fivestarspk Siena/AMC does not require MCAT and that makes a huge difference. And both Drexel and Albany med school are similar in their ranking so pick Siena/AMC</p>
<p>@fivestarspk pm @sbmhhs she has exactly the same choices</p>
<p>@fivestarspk I agree with @Magna7 - Siena/AMC is a better choice than Drexel. Siena is a great college located in a nice part of Albany and AMC has an excellent reputation as teaching college. Current Dean of Brigham Woman and Children’s hospital (Harvard) is a graduate of AMC. (My son did a summer program at Siena couple of years back and he loved the campus, dining and everything there).</p>
