Hey guys! Congrats to everyone getting an acceptance from the waitlist and good luck to those still waiting! I am an M2 here for anyone who has any questions hmu! It wasn’t that long ago that I was deciding between FIU and another state school and the advice I got was so helpful in making a decision. No such thing as a bad/dumb question!
 
on the waitlist currently and i got invited to apply for the gcp. sdn threads are saying to avoid the gcp at all costs. does anyone know anything about this?

I didn’t do GCP and don’t know much about it. I do know A LOT of people in my year that did it and since it is so similar to our first year courses in medical school, they get some of the best grades in the class. I can’t speak to much else other than it is expensive so your financial position should play a big role in whether you decide to do it.
 
Just got the A! I’m thrilled but kinda torn. I got Into a strong DO program earlier and didn’t expect to hear back from FIU after getting WL months ago. So much bad press here and I am not sure what is true and what is false. I recognize I’m lucky to have any choice here. Is it better to pick a good DO over a MD with some potential red flags?

Definitely pick the MD over DO

I was in the same situation. You gotta choose what speaks to you. It was really difficult to let go of the DO schools I got. In the end, FIU is my home, so that is what I chose.
