lol wow I sense no bias here ^
I interviewed at both, and I would pick NYMC.
First time posting here, but trying to get feedback on these schools. I was accepted to both NYMC and Hofstra but can't decide between the two.
Hofstra pros for me were the great clinical experiences, newer facilities, and the fact that everyone at the school is so clearly invested in the students and their success. Of course the biggest drawback is that the school is so new. Also hoping for some feedback with the curriculum- it's a bit daunting thinking that there are "no lectures" since that is what I've done my entire undergraduate career at a large UC. The PEARLS groups seems like a nice idea, but can a current student comment on how much direction you are given to study whatever the topic may be. I am a bit worried the group learning dynamic can turn into a lot of BS/people running wild like chickens with their head cut off
NYMC pros for me were basically that it was established. I didn't really like the general vibe of the school while I was there(perhaps this is biased to the few students I interacted with) and the curriculum is very traditional, and the 3rd and 4th year rotations were held throughout the area, which I wouldn't really enjoy the whole driving around and moving everything 3 months thing.
What would you choose between the two?
