<p>could you guys post ur stats?</p>
<p>no but you can search them. I'm sure most of us have posted them before.</p>
<p>I got in. I applied to seven, and I only got into this one.</p>
<p>you only need one, if it's the right school for you</p>
<p>rejected not too sad cuz i really disliked their undergrad campus.</p>
<p>i was accepted into the program, but i am debating between Miami's HPM program and going to Johns Hopkins and doing the traditional pre-med route. any advice?? i'm more than happy to talk to anyone who is facing a similar decision.</p>
<p>I am debating between HPM and UCLA. UCLA is known much more for its academics, research opportunities, social life, and sports. However, I know that UM has no dearth of these. Confused....At least I know that I like UM from what I saw.</p>
<p>PreMedStudent12 and Spidey1588: Did you two get the Singer Scholarship? </p>
<p>The only problem I saw with the HPM program is that you are doing everything necessary to get into a Med School anyways...3.7 GPA, 28 MCAT, medical related activities every semester, filling out the AMCAS app and getting LORs...so it is really more of a conditional acceptance contigent on you meeting the criteria</p>
<p>Also, if you want to double major or major in something difficult like Biomedical Engineering, you will have to work extra hard (just like regular premeds) to maintain a 3.7 or A- avg in college. If you major in something easy to get the 3.7, you might not be prepared to work in med school and get the top residencies (if that is of any concern to you)</p>
<p>Miami is a great city with many offerings, but it is easy to get distracted and get kicked out of this program. However, if you really like UM and the Miller School of Medicine, then this program can't be beat. Good luck to both of you!</p>
<p>i hear the girls are amazing - you might laugh but thats really important to have</p>
<p>3.7 gpa is high though, pretty high
thats the only deterring factor</p>
<p>I feel tho youd be crazy not to enjoy living in Miami for 6 years
I wish I applied there</p>
<p>I was accepted as well. Also, you can keep a 3.5 GPA, and get a 26 on the MCAT and move to Miller after 4 years. I agree though, having to fill out an application seems some what stupid.</p>
<p>I want to go the four-year route, just so I can take more classes for "fun." Do you think that getting 3.5 (or a 3.7 for that matter) is that hard if someone was accepted into the program? The admissions people must be sure that we can maintain the grades, right?</p>
<p>heck no, I heard it's not hard at all.</p>
<p>premedstudent12....don't be foolish, take the med program. It shouldn't even be a consideration. I can tell you from experience, a million things can go wrong between your first day at JHU and your acceptance to a medical school. A bad teacher, a bad case of mono or some other illness, a family tragedy or even a relationship gone bad can all effect your performance in college and prevent you from not only getting into a top med school, but any med school at all. It only takes one B- or C in an important class to make you wish you could take back that decision that secured your close to guaranteed MD. And as far as I know, JHU is not a walk in the park when it comes to pre-med competitiveness.</p>
