<p>Tulane is a bit of a party-place, but their med school is excellent. Brown’s medical school has come up a lot lately, but isn’t considered tops in the medical world.</p>
<p>I have read many times here that Med school ranking is irrelevant to the career path of a physician, so I don’t think post #21 is relevant.</p>
<p>social life at northwestern not that great?? really?</p>
<p>anybody about rutgers/umdnj, drexel, GwashU, SUNY?
any other input?</p>
<p>which programs would you all say are the “easier” ones? obviously they are all difficult because it is a program, but which are not as difficult?</p>
<p>John’s Hopkins!!!1!1!!1</p>
<p>I disagree- Social Life at NU is great (comparatively to comparable schools)</p>
<p>i would also look at TCNJ… they have a program there and theyre really good in sciences. my older brother actually wanted to go there for that program but didnt get in after the final round. he wound up going there for just regular bio major chem minor and now goes to UMDNJ.</p>
<p>if you want an active party/social life i would definetly not do a comined program. my brother was pretty much a complete frat boy (except with brains) and even felt that he had a lot of stress on him just being in the bio major, much more stress than his friends EVER had. he says hes so happy he didnt get into the program because it allowed him to enjoy college while controlling the stress. and now hes locking himself in his apartment for the next 3 years to get through the rest of med school.</p>
<p>It’s true that the med school is not relevant to the career path of a physician. It’s the talent of the physician, hands down. </p>
<p>I know this from personal experience. A doc in the family was asked by a patient, “are you the one they say is the best in the city?” and he had attended one of the least expensive med schools in the country.</p>
<p>I want to know what/which BS/MD program i can get into with my stats, I dont really like D.O’s but if i cant get into MD, DO is my backup;no offense.
I know these programs are competitive but here are my stats, please give me honest feedback::

Rank: 1(out of 604)
ACT: 30 but shooting for a 33
SATI: - will take soon
PSAT: 192
SAT II: Math2-710 Bio-770
I’ve taken AP Bio and AP Calc as a junior, i’ll be a senior soon and will take AP Chem, dual enroll in Calc II and III and might take AP History.</p>

Job experience: Kumon; 12hrs a week, tue, thu,sat; i teach kids math and reading.</p>
<p>Please help me out, I am applying to Wayne State University’s MedStart program and also Michigan State Universitiy’s BS/MD program. I am also applying to a couple of others which i will list at anyone’s request.</p>
<p>any other comments on the schools i listed? please</p>
<p>You should look at Temple’s Medical Scholars program.</p>
<p>Penn State all the way. I have visited many colleges in my life; definitely the one I regret not attending.</p>
<p>You will be extremely disappointed with RPI or Siena. If you were to choose a SUNY school over Northwestern, Mich St or Penn St you would regret that as well.</p>
<p>that was helpful! thanks</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>I stress that OSU’s 7-year program is GREAT…I have several friends enrolled right now and they’re having a great time. OSU has a fantastic social scene and very good-but-not-too-stressful academics. And the conditions, if I remember correctly…</p>
<p>keep up a 3.5 GPA and you automatically get into their med school</p>
<p>keep up a 3.0 GPA and you need to take the MCATs and do decently and get into their med school</p>
<p>Remind me to ask my doctor next time if he went to Ohio State. Just kidding. ;-)</p>
<p>Vanderbilt has the ultimate “work hard play hard(er)” environment.</p>
