How useful is HPM program in University Of Miami? My S got 20k scholarship in Miami and BU I don’t know yet. He is assessing benefit of HPM program over the Boston opportunities. I appreciate any helpful guidance.
Miami HPM seems a better choice (believe pre med, right?). A portion of this program is offered a chance every year to direct med at their med school after sophomore year. Don’t know the numbers but you can ask them what percentage make it. While competition is going to be tough, it gives better chances than the typical EAP programs where hundreds of sophomore year students compete for a handful of such spots elsewhere.
Even if your son were to take the traditional approach, saving cost at undergrad is important to be able to spend for med school later on.
Also as an undergrad from Miami, he will have a better shot at their med school and Miami is one of the cheapest private med schools out there and a good one too.
Thank you. Yes looks like the program is promising and my son is also leaning towards that program. he Said he will finalize on Monday.
