<p>I was wondering, do most NEOUCOM graduates get into strong residency programs after attaining their M.D. degree?</p>
<p>i was accepted to their bs/md, so i would also like to know.</p>
<p>yeah i was accepted as well and was wondering the same thing</p>
<p>It all depends on your USMLE scores and your grades, but mostly MLE scores.</p>
<p>yea...seriously, what are the acceptance rates...I wouldn't wanna spend 6 years doing the bs/md and going to some inferior place for residency</p>
<p>It must be that the scores are all the matter, not the school that you graduated from. I personally know somebody who got residency at Mayo Clinic right after NEOUCOM. It cannot be better than that, Mayo Clinic being #1 in a WORLD. However, it was few years ago.</p>

I've spoken to a few residency directors at very prestigious programs on the subject.</p>
<p>The general consensus is this: they have a list of "good schools" and list of "other schools". The list of good schools varies considerably from director to director. One director had a list that was approximately 15 schools long, one had a list that was pretty much only 5 schools long. I'm sure some directors have lists that are 30 long, etc. Depending on their specialty - particularly primary care vs. all others - their list might vary as well, although all the lists I heard were pretty much the same except for length.</p>
<p>If you are from a "good" school, and your application has no glaring flaws, then you get an interview. If you are from an "other" school, and your application does not have any glaring HIGH points, you do not get an interview. Once you get an interview, that becomes the most important component of their decision, although other things still matter.</p>
<p>Special features - either good or bad - might be board scores, class rank, a second degree, etc.
