(I wonder if they block links…)</p>
<p>The match hospitals all look very good. 
In my opinion, anyway.</p>
<p>That’s a really good match list!</p>
<p>hi hydrogen3K …can u explain why its a good match list…i am just curious…cuz right now i have no idea wut a good match lists looks like…and also are u a med skool student now…or r u in undergrad…thanks in advance</p>
<p>Hi TorCan,
I’m entering med. school this August.
Many things contribute to a good match list. Yet, hospitals are a good indicator: MGH, Mayo, NY Pres, etc. Also, getting into some hard residency specialties are good: derm, neurosurgery, plastics…you don’t want the majority ending up in family practice (there’s little respect there – but, I have no problem with it). Further, a good national distribution, meaning that the school is in good relations with the directors (not everyone being clumped in a few hospitals).</p>
<p>ooo ok thanks…i was looking at the list and it didnt make sense to me at all…hmm i guess i’ll learn more as i begin my undergrad years…btw…good luck with Med Skool…fun begins next year for u!! 3 more yrs for me. enjoy!</p>
<p>Hey guys, i got into BU’s med program too and i also got the Trustee scholarship which is full tuition for undergrad, but i also got into Northwestern’s 7 year medical program. (no money) Does anybody have any advice for me as to where i should go or what i should consider in making my decision?
I’m from missouri, i hope to see all of you there on the 20th.</p>
<p>Icheeq,
Northwestern’s HPME is far superior to BU’s combined program. I believe it’s considered a top tier BA/MD program.</p>
<p>However, where you decided to go might depend on your money situation.
If you can afford HPME, you could choose HPME. </p>
<p>If you can not, select BU.</p>
<p>Hi everybdy,
I am from Chicago and I also got in to BU combined program. Other places I got in to include SLU and UIC. SLU is giving me some money. I got a full ride at Miami but did not get in to combined program. So I am in areal soup in terms of decision= any thoughts?</p>
<p>hey browngirl congrats first off for getting into all these amazing places! Ok so my bias towards BU is that its 7 yrs and the atmosphere that exists among SMEDS here is great i thought…(that is when i stayed in the dorms when i came for the interview.) Also SMED is very brown browngirl…haha…not that it matters at SLU or boston i presume…but ya of the two combined med programs i think BUSM might help you later on with residency matches …(and also ur ambitions of a good residency)…atleast thats what i have heard and also BU SMED is quite an established program from the 60’s i think…so all these factors may pull you towards BU. btw if u r coming to BU Openhouse …see you there! take care</p>
<p>Any one heard anything about SMED decisions yet?</p>
