<p>Has anyone here or is anyone applying to all three programs with Albany Medical College? For medical schools that have different undergraduate schools leading into them, are you supposed to pick the undergraduate school that best matches you or do you apply to all of them in hopes of increasing your chances? </p>
<p>Please reply if you have previous experience with this and have applied to the 3 Albany programs and gotten into 1 or 2. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Albany Medical College (AMC) has three different routes for admission. Each undergraduate school is a separate program from the others. Think of the AMC route as applying to three different undergraduates schools and a specific program within each. If you get into more than one, then it comes down to picking the school that’s best for you (just like picking a college regularly). I am not aware of any ranking.</p>
<p>NEOUCOM, in Ohio, works differently. You apply to NEOUCOM, then are accepted at one or more of the undergraduate institutions. You rank every place you were offered an interview. There is a “matching” process that happens, whereby you rank your schools and the schools will rank accepted students. A computer program figures out the best combination.</p>
<p>You can apply through as many of the UG programs as you’d like. My experience entails! I was accepted to both RPI and Union’s program with AMC. I sent two UG applications, got two different med school applications, did one interview, and received two acceptance emails. That doubled the awesome when I got the acceptances. :D</p>
<p>However, applying to multiple programs may or may not increase your chances of acceptance. Someone I know was rejected from the RPI program but accepted into Siena.</p>
<p>In my opinion, more applications gives you more chances to show the difference facets of your personality and character. I had an interesting interview; not only did I defend myself as a scientist, I got to talk about my leadership qualities as well. The more the merrier!</p>
<p>What exactly is a UG applicaiton? Do they not use the common app?</p>
<p>UG = undergraduate. </p>
<p>I believe all the UG schools use the common app. There are special supplements for the AMC programs.</p>
<p>This is rock and dang!!!</p>
