Hey all, for SMPs, I've so far heard back from UMDNJ, VCU, NYMC, and Barry University. If you all had to choose one to attend (MINUS BARRY), which one would it be? I need some help/advice because I'm not sure what to do or which is the best program. 😕

UMDNJ has a class size of around 120? and NYMC around 25...but I only got into the traditional 2 year masters for NYMC since I was hoping to do a one year SMP...not sure about VCU's class size.

VCU has the best medical school (number 66 in the US) and NYMC is 89 with UMDNJ (Newark) being unranked...but VCU's program is only certificate and not masters. Does this fact matter at all?

Thanks for your input! Greatly appreciated. 😀

I'm somewhat inclined to say that New Jersey is higher in ranking then VCU. However I'd go with which ever is the cheapest and fastest. That being said, also ask if the colleges have a particular favor to the SMP student's. If they accept many of their SMP student's that should also be something to consider.
