<p>I got accepted to all the three universities for pre-med. How do I choose which one is the best? Which program is easier to get a near perfect GPA? What are the perks of going to FSU over the other two?
Any response is appreciated!
Thanks!</p>
<p>Honestly, any of these schools are fine. Just go to the one that costs the least. Your test scores will matter more than where you went to school. Medical school is ridiculously expensive, so you want to avoid spending too much during undergrad.</p>
<p>For example FSU, right?</p>
<p>But don’t I also need to have a strong research background? How are the research opportunities at FSU? Miami is known for its research… What about FSU?</p>
<p>FSU is excellent for undergraduate and graduate research. My D1 selected FSU over all other FL schools due to the research opportunities. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa in biochemistry and will graduate in May from FSU Med as an MD.</p>
<p>What were her other options she was considering for undergrad? What made her chose FSU?</p>
<p>How are the classes at FSU? Is the competition as tough as private colleges, for example UM?
And I read online on statemedicine that FSU accepts only florida residents for med school. Is that true? If it is, would doing undergrad at FSU be of any help?</p>
<p>She had many choices but decided to stay public and in-state. She applied to UF, was accepted, qualified for UF Honors, and selected Florida State.</p>
<p>She visited both campuses and connected with faculty in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department at Florida State.</p>
<p>It can be extremely competitive at state schools.</p>
<p>All state med schools in Florida accept out-of-state students.</p>
<p>Going to schools of equivalent quality (example - FSU and UF) don’t lend any special advantage. Med school admissions depend on your undergrad grades, MCAT scores, your demonstrated commitment to medicine through individual effort and your ability to interview as a mature individual who can handle the job of being an MD.</p>
