Hi all, I completed this program last year so if you have any specific questions feel free to ask or PM. Overall, I thought the program was ok. It's beneficial for those who need to boost their GPA and are serious about working hard. That being said, this program is not as difficult as some people are making it out to be. To study 50-70 hours seems a bit excessive. I think I studied maybe 10-20 hours a week while working. The first semester is pretty easy, especially if you've already taken biochem/genetics which I had. I would recommend doing extra-curriculars (shadowing) during this time because it is the easiest semester (even though a lot of people recommended waiting until at least the first test so make sure you are able to handle the workload). Second semester is a bit tougher but I liked it more, the classes were more interesting imo and curves are generous. I don't think it was "cut-throat" either; the students were all helpful and shared a lot of resources via the FB page. The main cons to this program are the price (it might be cheaper to take classes on your own but this program certainly is convenient). Also, very few to a handful of people end up matriculating into USF's med school and honestly, the people who did probably would've gotten in regardless (high MCAT's and ok undergrad stats). It seems like a lot of people ended up doing DO, although that is probably due to their MCAT score and not the program. Last recommendation-get your MCAT out of the way before the program or during the 1st semester. The class they offer is Princeton Review, which is available anyway. Hope this helps!
