Which BS/DO program do I choose?

I am asking all you DO's or future DO's which program should I pick because you obviously know more than what I know...Share your wisdom lol

HI all, i am a senior who applied to BS/MD and BS/DO programs. I got rejected to all BS/MD programs, some I had an interview, but did not get accepted because there's like 5-10 seats. I got accepted to following BS/DO programs and need help deciding...

I applied to 7 year BS/DO programs in order to avoid the medical school admission process. These programs reserve a seat in the medical school for high school students as long as the maintain a certain college undergrad. GPA and get a specific minimum MCAT score. (If you knew about the program, sorry for all that, but some people don't know about these programs since I think they are relatively new.)

1) These are the programs I have been accepted to and which do you think I should go to and why?

**The main question is what should I consider in choosing one of these programs- tuition, location or difficulty like MCAT score-is what I am worried about, or reputation of DO school

Gannon University in Erie, PA agreement with PCOM in Philadelphia, PA
Requirements: 21 MCAT score overall, 7 in subsections and 3.2 overall GPA-
must get grades of A-C

Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, FL agreement with NSU-COM in same place
Requirements: 24 MCAT score overall, 8 in subsections and 3.3 overall GPA-
must get grades of A-C+

Utica College in New York with agreement with LECOM in Erie, PA or UNECOM in Maine
Requirements: 20 MCAT score overall, 3.0-3.2 overall GPA

NYIT in agreement with NYCOM
Requirements: 26 MCAT score overall, 3.3-3.5 overall GPA

THE NYIT Program I'm probably not going to because I have heard bad things about it including difficult coursework, bad professors, and hard requirements, I hear they take 70 applicants, but many drop out or get asked to change programs.

The Utica one I don't like because the schools arent that good, but I AM TRYING TO PICK BETWEEN GANNON AND NOVA....

(2 words hit my mind: dreary erie, anyone care to elaborate or is this false crap found online, but PCOM is reputable, and Nova is just, u know, beautiful...)

Most of the costs of the school end up being the same if I calculate scholarships, so please talk about other stuff to make me A CONFUSED SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL- DECIDE!!!

Thanks so much,

Here's some advice . . . don't insult the people who go to these schools. They're going to be your future colleagues someday.

I'm glad you hate those schools - I'm sure they hate you back you prick. I don't understand people like you making comments when you know nothing about what's coming out of your mouth.

In the end, they will all provide you with a DO degree. Every program has it's fair share of problems. Of the students picked for this program, I know of only one person in my class who made it into medical school out of the students who enrolled. He did very well in medical school. In the end, I would pick the one with the lowest tuition. Nova is very expensive, even in undergrad. The less you have to pay off, the better.

For future references, please don't cross-post in multiple forums.

This topic really belongs in the pre-DO forum.

There is an identical thread (started by the original poster) in the Pre-osteo forum. Please refer all future discussions to that thread.

Closing.
