Hi everyone,
I'm a westchester resident hoping to apply to med school next year. NYMC would be ideal as it is so close to my home and would prevent me from having to relocate my whole family (hubby, two kids, house etc...).
Anyway, my plan had been to apply their early decision. I have no illusions about my ability to get into a state school with lower tuition and I really don't care diddly about reputation. However, several people here have commented about how that school seems to work its students harder then other medical schools.
I'm not apposed to hard work by any means, but I do also have kids to take care of so I don't want to do any more work then medical school generally entails.
Can anyone explain why NYMC is considered "harder" then the other schools? Is it more hours in class? Harder tests? Something I haven't thought of yet?
Thanks all!
