<p>@msxkjp: Yes. TCNJ calls over last night. 38 students are in the program out of 96 interviewed by NJMS. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Hey guys I would like to know your opinions! </p>
<p>Which is better: TCNJ/NJMS or Drexel/Drexel!?</p>
<p>Your help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!!</p>
<p>Anybody know if Dr. Dhawan is still calling for NJIT/NJMS results?</p>
<p>@SamK94 Yeah thanks! Even though it’s not really good news I would much rather definitely know than anxiously wait hahaha. </p>
<p>@Doctor18 I think that’s a personal preference of which campus you like better. Also if you’re in state, there is the financial aspect to consider as well. From what I’ve seen thus far the highest amount of merit-based scholarship TCNJ has given out for regular undergrad is $10,000. Both are great programs and congratulations on your acceptances!</p>
<p>does anyone know anything about rosemonts early assurance program? </p>
<p>really confused as to whether i should go or not!</p>
<p>@OhioParent558, @magna7, @daisy1111, @HPMEMOM: Thank you all very much for the suggestions about choosing between Miami HPME and Case PPSP. Do you think the difference in terms of ranking is significant enough to choose Case over the excellent climate, campus, and saving of an year that Miami offers over Case?</p>
<p>@banyen choose where you will enjoy so if you prefer the climate and great campus choose Miami .</p>
<p>@pgans2: I would pick the UToledo program. 450K debt is way too much. What UMKC won’t tell you is that they would want you to keep at least a 3.5 anyway. So I don’t think that’s a unique factor. I’d also say that 6-year students from UMKC get into very respectable residency programs, from what I’ve heard. I’d say this:</p>
<p>Pros of UMKC: You lose TWO years, slightly more prestigious, no MCAT
Cons: You have 450K debt by the time you’re done</p>
<p>Pros of UToledo: Still respectable, no MCAT and 3.5 GPA requirement reasonable, FULL RIDE
Cons: You don’t like engineering, EXTRA TWO years.</p>
<p>If I were you, to be honest, I’d go with Toledo’s offer. But you have to decide what factors you see as valuable.</p>
<p>@KLM I want to send you a private message but need to make one more post before CC will allow me to do that…</p>
<p>@magna7: Yes, the campus seems to play a big role. He will be thinking hard in the next few days!</p>
<p>Hey guys I’m in a dilemma right now: I got into u toledo bs md program and I got into njit/sgu program… I think both are very good programs but I’m so confused: my only goal is to become a primary care physician and I feel that bioengineering is a tough decision and njit sgu I have a full ride and I stay 5 yrs in nj and go to st George’s for 2 years… I will become a doctor by 25… Whereas the other one is 27… And honestly I’m not a big fan of physics and stuff… I’m so confused. The thing with sgu Is I have to take the mcat and I have to be within 3 points from their average mcat score. Which one do you guys think?</p>
<p>Plus I’m a us citizens. And I know he competition for fmgs but honestly sgu has a 99% match rate for residencies. I’m just worried about the mcat part. Again I just want to do primary care.</p>
<p>Sorry for all the typos… I’m on my phone which is hard…</p>
<p>If you want to save money, I would consider staying in NJ only because it lets you apply out while retaining your spot. That way if it doesn’t work out you always have a fallback. Take time with your decision though, it’s a tough one.</p>
<p>@bayen agree if climate and campus is important (and it should be) then choose where you would want to be for 7 years and potentially more</p>
<p>Thanks the hopeful one but do u think the mcat requirement is hard for sgu ? Any other opinions?</p>
<p>@pgans12- you have a tough choice, financially that is a BIG deal. That debt will grow with interest accruing while you are in school and deferring payback, just like any loan will. 6 year schedules are very tough and probably why most programs dropped 6 yr and went to 7. I envy you having a choice but do not envy having to make it. That will be a very personal decision for you.</p>
<p>@Desigrl23, have u applied to regular undergrad? If u r not strong in physics and engg related subjects, you should be careful choosing toledo but it is a better program than going out of the country and then having to take the mcat. You would be better off doing the traditional route. Between the 2, i would definitely choose toledo with no mcat. That will let you concentrate on ur gpa and not having to spend time preparing for mcat.</p>
<p>I’m good at math ( took calc bc) and I have an A but my issue is the time frame and the engineering part</p>
<p>@desigirl23- DO NOT go to a foreign medical school if you can avoid it. There are some schools such as Sackler in Israel that is considered an American school on a foreign campus and they do no have to take any extra exams when coming to this country. I know many doctor who have trained out of the country at excellent medical schools in their country and it is a royal pain to pass the exams and get a residency in the specialty they want. If it is considered a foreign school, I would say DO NOT ACCEPT!!</p>
