Anyone here get invited to NU’s ISP program?
Thanks. It is (4+4) by default. The (3+4) should have been selected 2 years back at the end of first semester. For (3+4) candidates, the last date to take MCAT is Jan 2020 and for (4+4), the last date to take MCAT is May 2020.
Medicine does not guarantee 100% positive outcome for every treatment or procedure. One signs the consent before agreeing to these. So risk is inherent in practice of medicine. There is a major debate going on in practice of medicine about the end-of-life care and necessary medical interventions in these situations . Medicine is NOT a risk-averse profession.
Does anyone know when PSU PMM interview results are released, I couldn’t pinpoint a specific time from the 2019 thread?
Interesting stats from UofMich - I wish other schools were to share such details.
- 44% of students have >2 gap years
- only 22% directly from UG
- ~32% from their own undergrad! That's a high number. since only 22% is directly from undergrad, they are taking a large number of their own students after 1 or 2+ gap years!
- Except Harvard, it seems no major advantage of going to other Ivies.
PMM results: About 3 weeks from the interview date
Lot of UGs don’t want to go to same medical school (probably except top T3), so wrong conclusion.
Thank you!
I am merely stating the FACT - UofMich took 32% of the incoming class from its own undergrad.
You can also do the math yourself.
It is not a question of whether of UGs want to go to their med school or not.
Usually, students apply to one of the NU programs - HPME or ISP.
NU themselves encourages students to apply to one program though it will accept applications to both.
Yes I wish all medical schools had these details.
Also once upon a time Michigan medical school had bs md program and one of the CNN anchor neurosurgeon was from that program.
I did not know Sanjay Gupta is a product of UofMich BS/MD program.
Lot of colleges have cut back on their BS/MD programs.
NU Feinberg matriculants numbers are 24%, includes HPME, NUPSP. If you exclude them than it is about 8%. (this doesn’t provide GAP years breakdown)
NU — 23% are non-traditional students i.e. >=2+ gap years.
@SAYSA @NoviceDad
ISP has no relation to BS/MD or traditional MD route. ISP program invitations are being sent once you accepted into UG. Also its math heavy program.
What you may be interested in is, called PSP (Professional Scholar Program), which acts NU UG as feeder to NU SOM, Feinberg. That program has 3.7 GPA cutoff to be eligible, at end of junior Q (December), to my knowledge about 30-40 pre-meds applies, ~15 called for interview (sometime in Feb), ~6-8 gets selected (by end of winter Q end, before spring break) and its a binding. Generally selected students are 3.8+ GPA. At this point student is exempt from MCAT.
@NoviceDad that may be true for entire freshman class of Feinberg from all over the places. What I am referring is NU as feeder to Feinberg only as discussion seems swirling around med school accepting students from their own UGs.
Agreed that info is not publicly available.
Almost all medical colleges have class profiles. But each college may differ on what they are sharing and may or may not have any specific point if you are looking.
Google ‘xxx medical college class profile yyyyy’. For example Rochester cited for emphasizing they look all round (beyond GPA/MCAT). Many state colleges will have higher % of IS (exception is UofM which takes lot of OOS). Try randomly colleges of interest to you in Google.
