<p>Hi
I was wondering if anyone has any idea which 7 year programs are the most competitive and the least?</p>
<p>so rank whatever ya got </p>
<p>it will help me evaluate myself for applications </p>
<p>tanksss</p>
<p>check the msar book and do a search on this website
this question gets asked constantly</p>
<p>and bottomline is they're all pretty competitive</p>
<p>First, learn to spell "competitive." Second, there have been threads on this. Use the search feature.</p>
<p>=p central perky</p>
<p>and thanks to both</p>
<p>well i tried to look but i culdnt really find much....
think anyone can direct me to the right thread?
would be of much help.
thanks</p>
<p>they are all competitive. just choose the ones you like and that make sense for you to apply to. when you start your application process you will find that applying to these schools is very difficult: lots of essays, standardized tests to take, recs, etc. i found all the ba/md programs i'm currently applying to by chance sort of. i was looking through the sites of schools that i actually would enjoy attending and stumbled across them. i then looked at my stats etc. to see whether or not it would be worthwhile for me to apply to them. hope that helps.</p>
<p>Not all of them are very competitive and it depends on your residency since some of them give huge preferences to in-state.</p>
<p>^Just because a program gives instate students an advantage does not mean they are not competitive. You have said multiple times that NEOUCOM is easy to get into if you are an Ohio resident. In reality, this is not true.</p>
<p>How do you know? Did you apply? It is much EISIER (not easy) than other programs for Ohio residents. And there are few others in Ohio that are not very competitive and more open to OOS than NEOUCOM, they are also unknown to most people.</p>
<p>If you think it makes my opinion anymore valid, then yes, I did apply as an in-stater. However, simply looking at the program stats and percent admitted, you can see it is indeed competitive. I would like to think I know all of the Ohio programs, even the obscure ones. Therefore, I would like to also mention that those obscure programs can be deemed competitive sheerly based on the number of people they accept.</p>
<p>"Not all of them are very competitive and it depends on your residency since some of them give huge preferences to in-state"</p>
<p>Central Perky,
I'm sure what MiamiDAP meant to say that those programs are less competivite if you're an in-stater compared to an out-stater based on the numbers accepted. All she said was that preference is given to in-staters.
Therefore, to make the conclusion that:</p>
<p>"Just because a program gives instate students an advantage does not mean they are not competitive."</p>
<p>is totally unreasonable because MiamiDAP obviously didn't imply that the programs weren't competitive.</p>
<p>^Yeeh, that's right!</p>
<p>If that is the case, I apologize. However, MiamiDAP has made comments in the past regarding this topic, which I have objected to, and the comments I made reflect my rebuttal.</p>
<p>No need to apologize. But since you did, I accepted. Take it easy.</p>
<p>lol. can you guys suggest any specific programs that are less competitive than others..(considering I am likely an out of state applier) i live in NJ btw.
..i know the drexel one isnt that competitive? correct?</p>
<p>def. apply to the drexel programs
also there is a new jersey program.
also try your luck with some of the AMC programs
to name a few.</p>
<p>^^University of Toledo - OOS is OK (no MCAT)
University of Cincinnati College of medicine DAP - Dual Admission Program with undergrad at UC, Miami University, University of Deyton. Have to apply to each undergrad separately and indicate your interest in medicine. Application to DAP by invitation only
Ohio State - must be National Semifinalist (based on PSAT) to apply. In addition to combined program, OSU has Biomedical science program, which is not combined, but they totally prepare you for applying to Med. school, including preparation for interviews. It takes about 24 out of 85 applicants and also require interview to get in. </p>
<p>I do not think any of the above give much preference to in-state (OH). As far as I know, programs outside of Ohio are much more competitive.</p>
