hey everyone,
So I figure while I am on winter break I would get a headstart on researching which medical schools to apply to for the upcoming cycle. Ive been surfing through some of the other pre-md forums and alot seem to keep saying buy a msar and compare my stats (mcat,gpa) to the average stats of the school. Also to look at location, websites, and % of out of state students. But honestly, all schools sound wonderful just looking at websites and other materials. Of course, I know this is important but I want to know what questions should I ask students/adcoms/etc to really get a "feel" and the "nitty gritty" on a school. for example, how important is grading and/or lecture style? Sorry for the lengthy post...but thanks for your time and would love to hear what questions helped you determine where to apply!
