My child was accepted into a BS/MD program (NEOMED). She wants to go and her other choice would be Case–loved it there but felt the environment was “intense.” I am aware that Moody’s has downgraded NEOMED twice in the last few years. This year they still had a negative outlook and appeared to have less liquidity this year than last. The medical school instituted a hiring freeze just recently. This is a state university, so I can’t imagine anything would happen to it. But Moody’s ratings and comments are concerning to me. Anyone have any input for us? Time is running out for a decision. Thanks.
What are the reasons that your D would choose to attend NEOMED? (or any BS/MD program)
Hi! Thank you for replying. Direct route to what she wants I think. I realize she’s young, so I do know that she could change her mind, which is obviously fine. I think she wanted to do this program because it’s close to home and she is interested in primary care, which they are focused on. She has talked to people who have loved it, too, and loved that they didn’t have to worry about applying later. However, whatever benefits there may be (or not), I am concerned about the financial stuff I’ve been reading.
@ atthebeach - What decision did your daughter take ? Did she choose NEOMED? What were her credentials? I am applying there.
