I read the previous thread about this topic, but it was made in 2011 and Tufts is a fairly new program, so there must be new information. I am torn between these two masters programs, and would love to hear pros and cons from any previous students, especially about the Tufts MBS program. I have heard Tufts is cheaper with smaller class sizes, and that BU's program is older and has proven itself consistently throughout the years. I would rather attend Tufts School of Medicine than BU, but can anyone point out more differences between the programs?

I am applying to MD schools this summer, and will reapply after the one-year program ends if I do not get in anywhere.

My stats: 3.2 cGPA, 3.0 sGPA, 32 MCAT, Good EC's with lots of research
 
pm me your email address and I could forward you the stats from an adcom from tufts university regarding admission into tufts school of medicine after completion of the program.
 
Which school would offer a better research experience, in terms of the ease of getting into a particular lab, level of advising/support throughout thesis, etc.? BU or Tufts? Which school offers the most opportunities to do paid thesis research?
