<p>I know this is very selfish of me to just ask personal questions, but does anyone know what is going on with the medicine college of UT? I've been hearing rumors that its residency program for surgery for UTMC is on probation? and also that its internal medicine program is in trouble with the board. Also, i've heard that they're running low on money... etc. </p>
<p>The reason I ask this is because I've been accepted into both UT's Bacc/MD Program and NEOUCOM's BS/MD Program, but can't decide which one would be better for me. </p>
<p>UT's advantages are:
-MCAT waved
-UTMC ranked higher than NEOUCOM
-campus is pretty???</p>
<p>UT's disadvantages are:
-2 hours away from home
-7-8 year program
-onlye 5 other kids in the program
-campus is in the ghetto neighborhood???</p>
<p>NEOUCOM's advantages are:
-(possibly 6 but not likely)7 year program
-more known
-other 35 kids in the program (total 100+) </p>
<p>NEOUCOM's disadvantages are:
-can't get into good residency?
-no summer vacation, intense curriculum.</p>
<p>*** Again, I apologize for asking for my own need. But i just want to know how both medicine colleges compared with each other. Thank a bunch!</p>
<p>I think utoledo, is better.dorm for undegrad is problem,but after that its ok.I am biased because i am going toledo.Also health science center is awesome.Did you not like it.</p>
<p>no,i haven't, but i think i'm going to attend the open house this saturday and see if i'll like it or not. Thanks.</p>
<p>Well the interview was at health science center.The med school is ranked higher also.How about tuition?Is there diff.?That can help make up the mind!</p>
<p>I would pick U Toledo since the MCAT is waived, and the school has a good program from what I have heard, Just wondering, what did you get on your ACT/SAT, GPA, and medical experiences?</p>
<p>I would say Toledo. I've toured, interviewed for, researched NEOUCOM, and know people in the program. Nothing against the program, great program, very competitive ect., but I think If I had the choice between either, I'd go Toledo.</p>
<p>for futuredr08,, i guess you don't remember the other thread... im the one who had similar stat as you and you regretted not applying to this... the one with act of 30. (so embarrassed, but hey i got where i wanted)</p>
<p>and thanks bluestreak... i really can't decide right now. i'll be going to the open house tomorrow and then decide which it'll be.</p>
<p>thanks jashbela!</p>
<p>embarrassed about a 30 ACT? That's nonsense. I had a 26 and still got an interview at NEOUCOM. I got my interview through my shadowing, EC's, skills and classes I've taken.</p>
<p>-campus is in the ghetto neighborhood???
It is not bad neighborhood by far. Have to be careful everywhere, but it is considerably far from downtown.</p>
<p>haha, thanks. bluestreak. and yes, i've visited toledo over the weekend... and hopefully i'm come with an answer soon...</p>
