Thread for BS/MD BS/DO 2021-2022

As medical schools, both Hofstra and Temple are good medical schools.
Hofstra has the advantage of 23 hospital Northwell system. Gives you access to rotations across practically all specialties. About one-third of Hofstra students match within that system.
Hofstra, however, requires achieving an MCAT score in one sitting.

W&J is a small school 30 miles from downtown Pittsburgh.
The science department is practically 1 building. The surrounding area around W&J does not have a college vibe or feel. Very few students there are focused on pre-med. to give you a statistic, on an average about 10-15 kids from W&J will get into an MD or DO (and this includes the BS/MD kids).

So, your undergrad experience at W&J will be very different than at Hofstra. Hofstra undergrad, however, has a reputation of being a party school. There is a cohort of BS/MD students but I could find data on how many pre-med students exists in Hofstra undergrad. Students in the BS/MD program are close and tend to help each other. Reach out to @mygrad2021 whose D is at Hofstra/Hofstra.
