I am currently on the waitlist for NYIT-Arkansas Campus and have been accepted to Tufts MBS Program. It is a completely NEW DO school. It would be the first class ever. So there are no stats on anything. Tufts is a well known SMP program.
NYIT- Arkansas:
Pro: US DO school
Cons: In Arkansas
Very expensive
Completely new school: so no stats in terms of residency placement, COMPLEX/USMLE scores, etc. Not sure about 3rd and 4th year rotation connections
Heard bad things about NYIT main campus and may trickle down to branch one.
MIGHT end up in a crappy residency or have difficulty getting one bc of its newness
Tufts MBS:
Pro: Good program
I would get to pursue an MPH (w/ a global health concentration) in addition to MS
Would prove that I could handle graduate level medical school programs
MIGHT open up better medical schools to apply to in the future
Cons: It would take me 2 more years to get into medical school
My question is this:
If taken off the waitlist should I go to Arkansas or take my chances with the Tufts MBS and go there?
