Hey, a fellow Buckeye, right on
!
Anyhow, I turned down my interview at MCO as I had already been accepted to my top choice schools. So I'm sorry I can't give you any first hand knowledge. I am a first year at Cincinnati now, and what I can give you is my opinion of how the Ohio med schools should be ranked, based on things like the relative selectivity of the schools, as well as the national rankings rankings. I added the ave. GPA and MCAT score beside each shcool.
1. Case Western (3.6/32)
2. Cincinnati (3.6/30)
3. Ohio State (3.6/30)
4. MCO (3.5/28)
5. NEOUCOM (3.6/28)
6. Wright State (3.5/26)
7. Ohio University (a DO school) (3.5/26)
You could probably say that OSU and UC are pretty much equal, but I feel UC wins out on specific details like our integrated curriculum, and hundreds of fourth year elective opertunities. I may be a bit biased though!
I think MCO is a good school for sure, and have heard from many of my class mates that their fascilities are great. I put Wright and OU at the bottom due to stats, as well as the fact that neither school has its own hospital.
If you're interested in specifics on med schools, check out medschool.com's school profiles section. As an aside, just to make you feel better (not to blow my own horn), I was invited to interview at all seven of them, and was accepted to four of them with a GPA of 3.3 and MCAT of 30. I also had a hefty amount of patient care experience (which helped)!
Good Luck!

Is the Medical College of Ohio a very good medical school? Are they hard to get into and what kind of scores/grades do you need? Thanks
