I am a high school senior that has been accepted to BSMD programs at NJMS as well as UCF. Here are the details:
UCF: 4+4, 3.75 overall & science GPA, 512 MCAT and interview in junior year beginning required. Undergrad: UCF
NJMS: 3.6 overall GPA required, MCAT should be taken, score not considered, no additional applications or steps. Undergrad choices: Rutgers, TCNJ, NJIT
I don't know what I want to specialize in yet. I want to go to a medical school that will give me the right research opportunities and support in case I want to pursue translational research.
NJMS: NJMS seems to offer better opportunities for research. For UG, TCNJ seems laid back and chill. I'm doing research in high school and would like to continue research in undergrad, so I'm leaning towards NJIT or Rutgers for UG. Is one of them better than the other for research?
UCF: Their 2017 matches in specialties is good, but I don't know what I'd like to do yet, so does it really matter? I do like the dorms and weather at UCF but those are not gating factors. The high GPA requirements and interview make it less attractive than NJMS. Is there any strong reason UCF would have an edge over NJMS?
I need to made a decision soon and would appreciate suggestions.
