<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I've been admitted to the BU's 7-year BA/MD program, Penn State's 6-year BA/MD program and the Brown Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME) eight year program. </p>
<p>Anyone have any thoughts about which one is better, or rather just some of the advantages and disadvantages of each program? I have no idea which one I am leaning towards and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Brown is the obvious choice (if you can afford it).</p>
<p>Brown seems to me to be by far the best choice (if you can afford it).</p>
<p>What if I would have to take out ~150k in loans? Any ideas taking that into account?</p>
<p>Sorry for the double post.</p>
<p>^masteropponent, stats please?</p>
<p>PSU! i felt a real sense of community at the interview. and it was so laid back and everyone seemed to really enjoy the program. plus you save two years & money</p>
<p>Mango…are u deciding now? Are you going to Penn State?</p>
<p>i’m going to penn state</p>
<p>O cool! Did you go to the dinner before the interviews??? Maybe we know each other…haha</p>
<p>And if u dont mind me asking where else did u get in?</p>
<p>i would rank them by your interest level, then by cost</p>
<p>i’m sure each program had aspects that made you apply to it/love it besides the amount of money so i’d take that into account before money. obviously if brown didn’t give you a cent of financial aid, it may be unrealistic, but it also depends on what amount of time you want to spend in college (2 yrs vs 3 yrs vs 4 yrs)</p>
<p>it’s hard to tell you where to go simply since i’m not you, but if i had the same choices to make as you i would rank it: brown, bu, PSU/jefferson mainly by prestige</p>
<p>bumpppppppppppp</p>
<p>Go to 6 year Penn State/Jefferson program.</p>
