<p>KLM, I would seriously consider Miami. I was at their Singer event last year, “early assurance” is also 7-yr program, only need to clear a threshold (low 30 MCAT score) to get merit scholarship to their med school, this is not available to HPME students. Miami med is one of very few in the country that offers merit money.</p>
<p>i would not vote for colleges that rejected you. there are so many other colleges. so better to go with the best option and then write mcat. klm, honestly i feel u might have not portrayed yourself nicely. with such good stats, presentation is important.</p>
<p>For TCNJ/NJMS, do only accepted students get called by Dr.Shevlin? I haven’t received a call yet…<em>sigh</em></p>
<p>@HPMEMOM, I don’t think presentation is an issue. 6 top 20 schools picked her after the interview. She also got 7 years of Model United Nations debate and 2 years of Mock Trial Lawyer. She own several debate awards. Her Mock Trial Lawyer program coach (real attorney) likes her presentation.</p>

Thanks for your input. merit scholarship is 10k per year from med school. Right?</p>
<p>@KLM seems like you guys cancelled a few interviews. And it seems like the deficiency was more in the essays/EC’s than the academics, because the academics were frankly perfect. You should have taught her how to effectively sell herself.</p>
<p>Rejected to NJMS. I honestly don’t know what I did wrong, but maybe it’s for the best. Just waiting on Stony Brook ESFM (not keeping my hopes up) and then we will make a decision.</p>
<p>@klm - then as i said before, this is just a gamble!</p>
<p>@TheBombingRange. Sorry to hear that. How did you find out about NJMS you’re not in. Did you get a call from NJIT or you called the HC. Thanks</p>
<p>I agree, it’s a game of luck…</p>
<p>@TheBombingRange. Sorry to hear that. May be they preferred candidates from NJ.</p>
<p>does anyone know what “maintain a 3.4 gpa each semester” means for the njit requirements? does it mean you have to get a 3.4 each semester individually or a 3.4 including that semester and the previous ones averaged together</p>
<p>@SamK94 I emailed Dr. Dhawan because I didn’t get a call.</p>
<p>@TheBombingRange. Thanks for your response. Do you consider NJIT/SGU option?. Because NJIT might have given a very good scholarships. Just checking your thoughts. I also just called the HC today and they told me that I was not selected for NJMS and sending my profile to SGU for other 7 year program and will hear back in 2 weeks. Any thoughts? Thx.</p>
<p>I’m assuming that TCNJ decisions are done as well? Does anyone know for a fact?</p>
<p>I was assume all NJMS decisions are done, TCNJ was apparently notified alphabetically and I saw someone on here whose last name was Z. </p>
<p>@SamK94 I got into Brooklyn and GW, there is no reason for me to apply to SGU. It’s pretty much looking like Brooklyn unless I get good news from Stony Brook…</p>
<p>@thebombingrange GW is a fantastic school so congratulations, is that GW just as an undergrad or the program?</p>
<p>I have three programs- GW, Brooklyn College, and Sophie Davis. GW is crazy expensive though, I’m trying to see if they will give me more money.</p>
<p>accepted into rosemont early assurance…anyone else accepted into the program? still not set on the program because i understand it is not guaranteed even if program req are met</p>
<p>Friends, I need your help in making a decision.</p>
<p>Today I received UMKC SOM packet and got accepted into 6 yrs BA/MD program. I am out of state student (not regional state). However I am bit confused whether to accept this offer or not. </p>
<p>1) Very compact schedule for the first two years.
2) I am interested in Oncology and I am not sure about the residency options after 6yrs ba/md.
3) heard UMKC is good for gen. physician / Pediatrician residency options.
4) since I am out of state, I end up with 450K debt by the time I complete BA/MD</p>
<p>I also got accepted into BS (biomedical engg)/MD program at University of Toledo, OH. I am bit not comfortable with engineering. However, I got 4 yrs full ride at this university. I need to maintain 3.5 GPA to continue into MD. This is one concerns, though I am confident that I can maintain a 3.5 GPA, but, it is with engineering. Regarding residency options in my field of Oncology, I think University of Toledo is good (looks like). The cost of MD is far less than UMKC. </p>
<p>Please advise me. I am really in need of your serious inputs. Help me.</p>
<p>@bombingrange - eagerly waiting to see your decision 
all the best</p>
