<p>Accepted today as well!
(out of state) from Texas
Don’t know if I will be attending either though because of poor financial assistance from UConn :/</p>
<p>U-CONN takes most out of state students this year for financial reason.
But its ranking 58 might not worth that much money for out state students.</p>
<p>I got accepted to the cpim program too!</p>
<p>Which state do you come from?</p>
<p>@bill2012, I’m from New Jersey</p>
<p>I got in and I’m from NJ…anyone have any advice on whether its worth to spend the money for CPIM? Like if anyone knows someone in the program or has heard about how it is, please do share! It would cost me like 25k/year and I got a full ride to Rutgers with the honors program and I could apply to med school afterwards. Any input would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>UCONN medical ranking 58. very low. when you get MD, it is hard to be a specialist. To be a family doctor should be ok. You could know the family doctor’s average income (100k~150k).
If you want to be a specialist(make more money 200k+), your medical school must be research oriented medical school, like top 20s. We will have a good chance to be a specialist.
I think from CPiM, most of them could be family doctors.</p>
<p>FMnba12, if you can get full ride and still get MD from Rugers, yet spend money in CPiM?
CPiM’s MD is the family doctor as well.</p>
<p>I would find it very difficult to turn down CPIM. Even paying full tuition you make it back during the medical school years when tuition is less than half that of other schools. It is also extremely difficult to get into medical school at all these days. I am on adjunct faculty at the Med school and they turn out plenty of graduates who become sub-specialists. The idea that they simply turn out family docs is untrue.</p>
<p>I was accepted out of state from new jersey, and I had a half tuition scholarship for four years undergrad, but I think I will turn it down for BU’s 7 yr program.
Though ranking was definitely a part of my decision (BU is 31, uconn is 58), it had more to do with the impressive match list at BUSM, and a large portion of students going into my desired specialty. I also did not like Uconns rural location in Farmington. When I went for my interview there was literally nothing within a 10 mile radius except for a combination Dunkin donuts/ subway. I liked BU’s urban location a lot more both from a learning perspective (there are several universities and hospitals in the area, plus a diverse patient population) and a more selfish perspective- lets face it, there is a lot more to do in Boston.</p>
<p>Good choice ferrdoxin, if you sit in UConnHC, you can see the patients are not a lot and level is … (do not want to say). A lot of patients from CT would go to Yale medical center (in New Haven, 30 miles away) and they think it must be better than UConnHC. That cause less patients for medical school students to practice and do the research. BU is good choice.</p>
<p>Heads up, as out of state students in CPiM, UCONN is waiting for you in your medical school time!</p>

<p>That is why CPiM admitted most out of state students</p>
<p>Something tells me Bill wants to get in off the waiting list :)</p>
<p>I am going to WU in St Louis.</p>
<p>In UCONN Web: “Connecticut residents receive special consideration.”
I understand: as tax payer and in state student, we could have higher priority to enter CPiM.</p>
<p>But looks like most admitted are out of state students.</p>
<p>I can’t find any reason except financial.</p>
<p>And UCONN should REMOVE “Connecticut residents receive special consideration.” in case misleading in state students.</p>
