I am applying for the FlexMed program at Mount Sinai and if accepted, I'd really want to go. But I've heard some troubling things about how since I got accepted early and won't be applying to other schools, Mt. Sinai wouldn't feel the need to offer me a good financial aid package. I know med...

Hello! I was recently admitted to the ISMMS Masters Biomedical Sciences and am strongly considering accepting a spot in the incoming class. I have some questions about the nature of the curriculum as well as the support system. If anyone is able to answer these questions, then I would...

Howdy, I am setting my eyes on ISMMS, but I would like honest feedback to know if I should further pursue this or if it would be a waste of my time and money, Info: I grew up in a very rural part of New Mexico (village of 500 people, I want to be a doctor because we grew up with a great lack...

Hello! I am a current first-year undergrad student. The maximum credit hours allowed at my institution is 18. However, seeing as how my GPA is high, and I plan on double majoring, my advisor recommended that I consider petitioning to take 19 credits so that I am able to take more classes that...

Mt. Sinai Pros All lectures are recorded & non-mandatory Really cares about student wellness; many of the students seemed genuinely happy (as far as medical school wellness goes) Protected half-days every Tuesday (nothing scheduled after 12PM) & an examination system that allows students to...

Mount Sinai Pros Location is ideal. I am interested in working with diverse and under-serve populations so working and living in very close proximity to Harlem sounds amazing. Also, being close to Central Park is a plus. Born n raised in NY, so family, friends, and SO are here Will be ~60K in...

Hi everyone! It's going to be awhile before waitlists start moving and I am doubtful that any of those will work out for me, but fortunately I do like the options I have right now. I would really like to hear others' experiences with the below schools, perceived differences between them, and any...

Hey Guys! Let me get to the point. Having a degree already and still having to submit my SAT/ACT. The question is, do I have to submit those tests? As well as my High School Transcript?? I know I should probably contact the school in regards to this. However I was hoping, that maybe someone has...

Hello, Seeing as the application will be opening soon, I thought it would be a good idea to start this up. As a reference, here are the links to the last few years of FlexMed forums 2014: FlexMed 2014 2015: FlexMed 2015 2016: FlexMed 2016 2017: FlexMed 2017

Fortunate enough to have acceptances to two great NY medical schools. Costs of attendance are approximately the same with NYU being slightly more expensive due to more expensive housing--I'm not really using cost as a decision-making factor. I already decided against Vanderbilt and UVA largely...

Hello! I am a university student and will be in Manhattan this summer (early june - early aug) to intern at Mount Sinai. I'd like to share a room/house/apt with other students, but I'm willing to have my own place or share with non-students. My budget is about $4000 max for the whole time. I...

Hi all, I'm leaning towards Mount Sinai's MSTP program. Problem is, my girlfriend (wants to get her PhD in Microbio) only applied to one NYC school (Columbia) and got rejected. She's most likely getting into a Baltimore school, so long-distance is our back-up plan. We're fretting about our...

I know several of the residents at the Beth Israel family medicine program as well as their sibling program, the IFH-Harlem Family Medicine program (the latter program has their inpatient experience at Mt Sinai, while the former were previously at Beth-Israel). There was recently a meeting...

Hi all, First post so bear with me! Been interviewing at MSTP programs, specifically for genetics/human genomics/developmental biology. In terms of medical fields, considering ophthalmology. Super excited to get an acceptance from Mount Sinai :) My question now is: of my remaining interviews...

The rest of the secondary application is working fine for me. However, when I try to upload my photo, and then save it, it says that the page is complete, but it also says "no file chosen". Anybody else having this issue? Thanks

Wanted some feedback on Icahn's mph program at Mount Sinai. Is this program mainly tailored for medical students? Im not sure whether they would be as welcoming for people just out of undergrad.

Hello all! This is my first post on SDN. I'm hoping to receive some advice on my medical school decision. I have been fortunate enough to have received admission to Yale and Mount Sinai, among other schools this cycle. Below is some of my background, as well as my pros/cons. I would appreciate...

I was wondering if people with direct experience with these schools could chime in on whether it would be worth it to attend Duke over Mount Sinai, despite Duke being ~130k dollars higher in cost for me. I have reasons as to why I am pretty set on Mount Sinai such as: -its significantly cheaper...

The difference will come to $54,000 over the 4 years. Mayo is a great place. I completely understand it's educational value, opportunities and how I could perceivably do better there academically. Of course the hospital is on another level and completely outshines Sinai. However, I absolutely...
