I recently got accepted to these following Masters in Biomedical Sciences programs for Fall 2020 and would love some guidance on how to best decide which program to attend.
Ultimately, I am looking to start medical school in Fall 2021 so I am looking for a program that will best increase the chances of this happening. If you are a past or current student please let me know if you matriculated into their medical school right after finishing the program or if you would recommend it at all!
Metrics: MCAT 502 (124/126/125/127), uGPA: 3.3, med scribe (2-3k hours), physician shadowing (300 hrs), raised $50,000 for charity as the philanthropy chair for an organization at USF.
Accepted to these:
I am looking for some factual information on whether these "linkage agreements" are real and if the interview is a real shot at matriculating into their medical school the following year or if the "guaranteed interviews" are mainly a lucrative way to draw students to the program.
P.S. I live in Florida.
