<p>wait a minute…
I thought it was only for 6 years. then off to med school for the last 2</p>
<p>Nope. Seven years. Five at the City College, two at the med school you match into.</p>
<p>the Assistant Director of Admissions…Gerald something (can’t remember his name…left the business card at home) came to my school to give out info last week tuesday. According to him it’s 5 years at City College and 2 years at the med school you match into. HOWEVER you pay the medical school’s tuition for your last 2 years. I was under the impression that you pay the CUNY tution for all 7 years. As of now the tuition is $4,600.
If you choose not to go into primary care you pay $75,000 to the city. The first 2 years is your time to do volunteering and get some research done. You just do the prereqs and electives. You don’t start med school curriculum until the 2nd semester of your third year (courses like anatomy etc.) and in your 4th you start applying to 1 of the med schools affiliated and at the end of the 4th you do your interview and the 5th year you branch over to your med school. Hope I was clear :)</p>

<p>Comments: I’m really trying hard to get into Sophie Davis. I’m just worried that my grades and EC’s aren’t fantastic enough to get in. :/</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>So who’s going to open house on the 11th?</p>
<p>I am and I’m really excited about it too, I would love to go this school, who else is going</p>
<p>Was completely sold at the open house. However, something piqued my interest when one of the professor’s was speaking. He said that 20% of students admitted to the program actually don’t want to go into primary care, and drop out of the program instead. Why didn’t he mention the percent of students who change their mind about being a primary care doc, but stay in the program in order to be a physician in a different specialty? What about those students?</p>
<p>Oh and the program is 7.5 years instead of 7…like that really makes a difference though.</p>
<p>Any more info about this program? Seems somewhat confusing to me (matching in to med schools?)</p>
<p>Hey for those who were accepted/waiting list ect… I noticed sophie davis relies heavily on Regents scores, i got a 96 on bio, 94 in chem, and a 98 in physics, im afraid you neeed better regents to get in, and my final average in chem was only a 95 so i dont know if i have a shot :/</p>
<p>Dude, I got a 93 in chem, an 82 in Bio, and I have yet to take Physics, and I was told at the open house that I should apply anyway. If anything, you’ll at least get an interview with those grades, and you certainly have a better shot than most of the other applicants (granted everything else about your resume like EC’s among other things is good as well).</p>
<p>nice guys. love ur stats. got some competition for next year xD.</p>
<p>btw: anyone who got in wanna post there stats. i really dont wanna search up in 92 pages for stats of thsoe who got accepted.</p>
<p>how heavy do regents weigh in our admissions?</p>
<p>i mean i have like low 80s for the lot of them with a 78 in chem and 9x’s in trig and physics.</p>
<p>i have taken pretty much all regent available except the 11th grade s.s and english.
shoould i retake all of them and get 100s? i mean the highest regents grade replaces your new one and colleges dont see anything.</p>
<p>also is there a point in taking a non-science ap course? i mean this is after a med program.</p>
<p>why should ap compsci or macroeconomics count as much as an ap bio or chem course?</p>
<p>Wow alot of you guys are really stressing out, i’m a freshman here and honestly my regents grades were not amazing, but my EC, AP’s, and Sat’s really shed some light on me. If i could remember i got a 93 in E.S, 88 in Math A, 91 in Math B, 97 on Bio, 93 on chem, 100-english/spanish/U.S, 98 on global, and 95 in physics. My weighted GPA was a 97.32 but i basically took every AP class i could possibly take. AP chem was my school’s hardest AP and i took it as a junior unlike everyone else who normally took it senior year, it showed i challenged myself, and i got a 5. My interview went absolutely amazing 
and for EC’s i was V.P/Pres of 2 clubs and worked at a hospital and library. My GPA could have definitely been higher and i would have had a higher rank w.o AP Chem but Sophie gets really impressed if you take AP Chem as a junior instead of saving it for senior year, oh and Valedictorian does not guarantee you in at all, in fact more non-valedictorians are accepted over those who actually are, i was ranked 6 and many of my friends were in the top 20. Hope this helps :)</p>
<p>^that’s because the valedictorians are busy applying to Ivies.</p>
<p>true that bro.</p>
<p>2 posts up.</p>
<p>wow how is it like?</p>
<p>i believe that u would get an interview. i feel like ur a little weak subject tests wise.</p>
<p>anyways im not even in ityet.</p>
<p>still got my sat ahead of me (junior year)</p>
<p>I am interested in this program, but I would like to become an anesthesiologists or a surgeon, and I was told this program is for primary care and you can’t specialize. Also, I heard you have to sign a form saying that you will work as a primary car physician in poorer areas, do you get paid for this or is it like a resdency?</p>
<p>They can’t force you to specialize in primary care, but they can certainly have you pay 75k in order to proceed with the regular residency match. The form you sign, I believe, says that you must go into primary care or pay 75k to the city. </p>
<p>Combined with the two years of regular tuition that the med school (the one you match into) charges, you pretty much end up paying what most medical students pay when they go through the normal route. It’s a bargain though because…<em>quotes the first post which you should probably read</em></p>
<p>to SophieDHispanic^ or anyone else who can help!
hi i had two q’s?
- sophie davis requires an essay on a domestic us problem, is it bad to personalize that essay?
- i heard only high students from the city get in, is that true?
~thanks</p>
<p>can anyoneee please answer my q’sss? plzzzzzzzzzzzz
k thanks bye
:(</p>
<p>Hey, I’m also currently a first year here and randomly saw this post, </p>
<p>artisticcutie, to answer your questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I definitely made that essay a personal one, I don’t think addressing it as a research paper is what the school expects. Write on the topic they give by providing your take on it, and how it has affected you as an individual.</p></li>
<li><p>The school is only open for students from New York State, we have students from NYC, Nassau, Suffolk, as well as even Westchester and Rockland Counties. The location within the state is not important to them, as long as you are a New York State permanent resident. Also, a good number of the students are from outside the 5 boroughs, so I don’t think that would be a disadvantage to you.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Hope that helps, and best of luck to all of you!</p>
