My family friend is in the SBU/GW program, I will give you my frank opinion. GW, as of last year, had the lowest acceptance rate of medical schools in the nation. That is pretty prestigious, BU is nowhere close in terms of prestige. You can’t beat the opportunities at D.C. Also, Dr. Knowles at SBU absolutely loves his students and SBU environment is truly unique. Coupled with the no MCAT and easy to maintain 3.6 GPA, this program is much, much better than BU’s competitive 7 years. I wish my daughter had been accepted here, but instead she was waitlisted after the GW interview. She will be attending PSU/JMC 6 year, instead. Best of luck and choose wisely.
