Hey guys I’m currently a junior in high school and super stressed out ability becoming an MD. I want to go to college at UF or UCF. I have a 1410 sat and 3.75 UW GPA. UCF has an 8 year med program with a caveat of getting 512 MCAT. I like UF A LOT better but at the end of the day I just want to become an MD. Please advise where I should go.



UCF 8 year med
Pros

• Guaranteed medical school spot I’d you get a 512 mcat

Cons

• I’ll have to stay in Orlando 8 years. I live in Orlando btw
  
• --

University of Florida
Pros

• Social life
• Better ranking

Really appreciate any help you guys could give !!🙂

If you got into the 8 year program, you should stick with it. Applying to med school is about the most stressful part of the pre-med journey, and having a guaranteed acceptance with a 512 (which is very doable, if you take MCAT prep seriously) will do wonders for your peace of mind. If you end up being a stellar student with research, volunteering and a 520+ MCAT, you can always break the contract and apply to the med schools of your dreams.
