<p>Planning on applying to both Sophie Davis and Macaulay at Hunter College. Chance me please!</p>
<p>I will potentially have 67 college credits upon graduating.</p>
<p>All I can really speak about is Macaulay since a lot of kids from my school apply each year. I’d say you’re on target for it and would be surprised if you didn’t get in.</p>
<p>For SD… I really don’t know. The kids from my school that go (not sure about apply or are accepted) are always minorities. In a discussion with my guidance counselor i told her I was interested in SD, she gave me a weird face and basically told me I had no shot of getting in since its meant for minorities or under represented groups or something lol. Its a possibility but I’m not sure</p>
<p>You have a good shot for Macaulay.
As for SD…I have heard that it is geared for more impoverished URMs. But it doesn’t mean that you don’t have a shot of getting in (like what tb0mb93’s guidance counselor said). It’s just that they will take into higher consideration people who possibly have had fewer opportunities than you, are not as financially fit, etc.</p>
<p>I don’t know about your financial situation, but if you do fall into that category, SD can be a good option for you.</p>
<p>Coming back to this, I realize my friend was in a similar situation as you. He is no longer applying to Sophie Davis. Think about it… what if you go somewhere else (Macaulay, or another school) and realize you dont want to be a doctor. If you go to SD, you MUST. And upon graduation from the med school you have to be a general practitioner in “an underserved community.” And if you decide to not do that, you will have to pay something towards $200,000 to the med schools. </p>
<p>“commitment agreement promising to provide full term medical services as a primary care physician for two years in a designated primary care physician shortage area in New York State”</p>
<p>I really don’t know what my cousin meant by this, but she is a med school student at one of the schools that SD has a partnership with, and she said the ‘kids’ (yes she referred to them as kids) from SD were immature. Take this with a grain of salt, though</p>
