Depends on what you're looking for. If you're like most people, you're interested in finding a program that affords a comfortable lifestyle. If that's the case, the best 2 are St. John's and Oakwood. Both are competitive in terms of their cushiness, and as a result, are highly competitive to get in. St. Johns takes 4, Oakwood 10. I think in general, it's best to stay away from Wayne State if you can help it, but again, transitional is transitional, so you won't be in too much trouble there. You will have to work harder though. Same goes for Henry Ford. The nice thing about Ford is the night float system (also in place at Oakwood) and free food (also available at St. John's). From what I remember, I think for medicine at Wayne and St. John's, it would be something like q7, but maybe someone else can correct me on that. However, for me, it's tough to turn down night float, even if it's q4 (Oakwood). Not sure what else I can tell you. I have heard that you should stay away from Providence, although someone told me they took huge steps in making it better for the transitionals.
