So I was recently accepted to George Washington University's 7-Year B.A./M.D. Program as well as to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Physician-Scientist Program (BS/MD). As you might imagine, I've been having a difficult time deciding which one to go to and was hoping to get some opinions. More details below...
The G.Wash program is a joint program between the G.Wash undergraduate school and the G.Wash medical school. After 3 years at GWU and 4 years at the school of medicine, students will be awarded their BA+MD degrees (in whatever major one decides).
Similarly the Physician-Scientist Program is a joint program between RPI and Albany Medical College (AMC). After 3 years at RPI and 4 years at AMC, students will be awarded their BS+MD degrees (specifically in Biomedical Engineering).
MCATs are not required for either school. However, students are required to maintain a 3.7 Overall GPA at GWU and a 3.5 Overall GPA at RPI after 3 years or their guaranteed acceptance to medical school will be rescinded.
I've done everything -- visited, researched, banged my head against a wall... I feel like I've considered everything from location to prestige to financial matters, but still can't come to a conclusion. I guess right now, I just want to know which one you think is better or better ranked.
