TCMC vs. Rutgers Newark MBS

[madMD01]

Hey all,

I'm on the fence deciding which program is best for an SMP. Currently I've been accepted to Rutgers Newark Medical Scholars Program and TCMC MBS program. Both schools seem great and have strong track records getting their students into well respected med schools. I've also applied to Rutgers RWJ MBS, Tufts MBS, and Duke MBS and I'm waiting to hear back from them. I'm an NJ resident.
One massive pro for Rutgers is the in-state tuition, around $22k for the year while TCMC is $42k before living expenses.
Can anybody who's been to either give some input?
Thanks!

TCMC is like 4 years old. I think this year, or next will be their first graduating medical school class. I think you should go with the established program and med school programs - Tufts and Rutgers. I've never seen Duke discussed on here so cannot relay anything
