My D was admitted to the bio program at TCNJ. She is interested in going to medical school. I have beed searching the internet to find information regarding opportunities for internship and research at this school, but I could not find much.
Is anyone familiar with the school? Here are my questions:
Given the location of the school, how do students find ways to do internships at hospitals?
Since the school is not a research institution, what is the level/quality of students’ research?
I heard that it is not very easy to change major while in school. Is that true?
School is located within 15 minutes of several major hospitals. I personally did an internship at a Trenton hospital’s physical therapy unit. (Trenton, Hopewell, Princeton all have hospitals)
I believe TCNJ had a 7 year direct to med school program, but that wasn’t available in my day.
I did research directly with a PhD full tenured professor starting in my 2nd year. I’m not sure what kind of quality it was ;0 but my work is still cited in other papers on the topic. I liked the fact that I worked directly with a professor. I presented my results at a few conferences.
No idea. I would imagine if you are getting outstanding grades your chances to switch would be better, but that is just my theory.
