So does anyone have any thoughts on Yale vs. UMDNJ? Anyone been to either?
And congrats to all you guys
If you are not a New Jersey resident I feel Yale would be more beneficial because UMDJ ultimately seeks NJ residents for its medical school. & c'mon Yale is YALE
I am a NJ resident haha, just wondering if there is really truth behind the YALE medical school name? Will the summer program be that much more enriching??
Or will the summer classes prepare me better than UMDNJ would.
I can't choose, anyone have any opinions between Nebraska and Houston programs?
Thanks for the help!
I was in the same situation last year, but I ended up choosing Nebraska and I had great time. I'm sure both sites are great, so you should definitely look at what opportunities each site offers - shadowing vs. class time. If you like a mid-sized city atmosphere, I would choose Omaha.
@PSU: Hmm that is true, I guess. The reasoning that I have though is that since I'm a NJ resident I would have even a greater chance of getting into UMDNJ in the future possibly due to attending the program. Yale is a pretty hard med school to get into though so I don't think that it would make much of a difference to them if I got accepted. All they really would look at is the GPA and MCATs. Am I right in my reasoning?
Well i don't bc I saw on Columbia's website that many of the SMDEP participants matriculated at their med & dental school. If you make good connections you might have a good shot, and a lot more is considered in an applicant than just his or her GPA & MCAT scores. In the end you have to choose whats going to make you the happiest and the most comfortable.
Does anybody know when we are to receive further info and instructions from the site we confirmed at?
Definitely check you email. I read other sites where they mailed stuff to the addresses, but ultimately after APRIL 1st when all the spots have been finalized.
Did you already get some new info from Yale?
I am still waiting on recommendations to be sent in. Do you think all the program sites are full at this point?
Where did you find that on Columbia's website? And hmm so you think it would be in my best interest to attend the Yale program because the quality of education would be higher there and/or it would look better on my resume?
