hey everyone, these are the three programs I'm deciding between. lmk what you think is the best option.
Union/AMC
Union/AMC
- No MCAT
- Maintain a 3.5
- Receive an MBA along with my B.S.
- 8 year program
- Cohort size is roughly 15
- mandatory study abroad through National Health Systems program
- Location is not the greatest
- Less prestigious med school (AMC is fairly low ranked on USNWR and Residency Program director surveys)
- Small school, 2000 students
- The MCAT is required, but no minimum (and multiple attempts allowed)
- Maintain a 3.5
- 7 year program, but I would be able to finish my UG in two years
- Cohort size is roughly 20
- Able to finish UG in two years w/AP credits and spend the third year doing research, internships, study abroad, 1-year MPH at Columbia, etc.
- Many current students do research at Perelman, which is very close to TCNJ
- Location is a plus, as Philly and NYC are located within an hour
- Mandatory research required of all SMED students (either at TCNJ, NJMS, Perelman, or any lab)
- Rutgers NJMS is better ranked than AMC in most regards
- Mid-sized school, 7000 students
- A really great social community around the program! They have a 7-year medical society that hosts social events and such to encourage comraderie among all SMED students at TCNJ. They also have an Alumni society for all TCNJ/NJMS students going back to 1991. This program has that sort of support.
- 80th Percentile MCAT required in at most two attempts
- Maintain a 3.5
- 8 Year program
- Cohort size is roughly 8-10
- Cincinnati is the highest ranked out of AMC and NJMS, probably has the best facilities. It is #44 on USNWR.
- Large school, 44000 students.
- Not as much community in the Connections program compared to TCNJ/NJMS.
- You can apply out (other medical schools), and still retain your spot at Cincy college of medicine!! that is actually pretty nice
