Hi everyone! So after weeks of anxiously waiting...I have found out that I have been accepted to UPenns Pre-Health post-bacc AND was just invited to interview for Jeffersons Pre-Professional post-bacc...still waiting to hear from Temple's BCMS program.
I have read many things on UPenns program, but not so much on Temple's or Jeffersons (if anyone could help me out that would be great!) I am just looking for advice as to which option may be best for me.
I am definitely interested in exploring linkages, so the options at UPenn appeal to me as well as the reputation it has in general, but what I have read about their lackluster advising, high tuition and the fact that it will probably take me more than a year to complete (due to changes in the MCAT, biochemistry is now required/highly recommended to do well) is steering me away from it.
I got a very good feel from Jefferson's program when I attended their open house and felt as though the faculty truly cares about the success of each student, but because it is a new program, I haven't heard many personal experiences. Also, right now they only have 1 linkage so I don't know if I would be selling myself short by choosing Jeff over Penn.
As for Temple, I am definitely interested in the conditional matriculation into their medical school but again-I haven't heard input from other students so any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!
