Cornell Vs. Hofstra

[xangxelax]

Hi I've gotten into both Cornell's and Hofstra's post bacc program but I don't have any information about both programs. I'm a little nervous going to Cornell's program because I don't know the difficulty of their post bacc classes because I would like to do well. I don't know anything about Hofstra's program either so I'm a little nervous about choosing that school? What do you guys recommend?

I just applied to Cornell post bacc program.
I completed and submitted my application a week ago.
How long did it take for you to hear back from them?
Do you personally think that it is hard to get in or pretty much flexible?
Thank you!

i just grauated from cornell. the program is very new and basically has a 0 track record for medical school. i am also not sure if many admissions committees are farmiliar with the post-bacc. the program is also VERY expensive. however, i do like the structure of the program. in terms of difficulty, if your work hard, you will do well. i didn't even apply to the program. im doing a post-bacc at harvard ext. because its cheap, well known and you have an option to receive sponsorship from them which looks favorable to admissions committees. also ithaca does not have that many opportunities for volunteer/shadowing/medical reseach experiences. unfortunately i know nothing about hofstra program. just my 2 cents
