Hey, everyone!
My current undergrad is located in socal and has a linkage program with West Comp and Lecom-Erie. I'm having trouble deciding which one to apply for or if I should even apply to a linkage program to begin with. If I get in in to the linkage program I'm expected to follow through with my promise and attend the school. Both of them have the same requirements but I'm only allowed to apply to one of them. I'm very tempted to apply to these programs because if I get in, it will guarantee me a spot into a med school, but on the other hand I will be limiting myself to only these two schools. What do you guys think? Should I apply to these linkage programs? If so, could anyone give me a brief comparison between the two schools.
Here are some information about the program and myself:
Min requirements to apply for the program
at least 3.3 bcmp
1 year gchem
1 semester calc
1 year bio
I'm going to be applying with a 3.8 bcmp and completion of:
1 year gchem +lab
1 year ochem +lab
1 year bio+ lab
1 year physics+ lab
1 year english
1 year calculus
The nice thing about the linkage program is that if I do get in, I will be guaranteed a seat as long as I maintain at least a 3.3 science gpa and get a 24 MCAT (min 8 on each section).
