<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>what do you think is the easiest BS/MD program to get into? NJIT, DREW, The college of new Jersey, Stevens, Montclair State, or Stockton College?</p>
<p>they all are equally hard</p>
<p>oh really? even Montclair State? How are admissions stats there? Like I guess how many apply, offered interviews, and then how many are offered admission?</p>
<p>listen it doesnt matter how many applications apply or interviewed, UMDNJ has 40 slots open with around 7 undergrad schools. That means very little ppl get accepted per individual school. Even if u apply to all 7 undergrads u only get one interview at UMDNJ and that decides if u get in or not.</p>
<p>wow, see the hting is, I would presume most people try to get the best undergrad i.e. - stockton college, stevens, or rutgers. I was wondering how many people apply ot the other ones especially MSU and NJIT and get accepted.</p>
<p>There is no program which is easier to get into because all undergraduate schools deal with the same program. You can apply to all the schools, do all the preliminary interviews at each undergrad school and you'll still get only one shot at an interview with UMDNJ.</p>
<p>From what I've heard, this program is getting tougher and tougher to get into. Last years applicants from CC didn't find much success.</p>
<p>wow. although they say minimum SATs are 1400, what are the credentials of those accepted?</p>
<p>so are you saying it isn't worth it to apply to all the schools w/ the umdnj program?</p>
<p>I can safely say that unless everything else is amazing, having an SAT of 1470 or less (old SAT) won't help your chances greatly. The average is somewhere in the 1500s. But just because you have a 1400 (or 2100) doesn't mean you shouldn't apply. It's just that now so many people are beginning to learn of the program and applying to it. Its attracting out of state attention.</p>
<p>You can apply to all the undergrad schools but I personally wouldn't. I'm not sure but I believe that only one of the undergrad files gets sent to UMDNJ (from the undergrad which sends it first). To prove that it's only one program- if you get accepted you have the choice of going to any undergrad school you applied through for the program, not the school which sent your file up. </p>
<p>College of NJ is the most popular undergrad choice but it didn't appeal to me becuase it was kind of isolated (farmland) from the major cities.</p>
<p>hey just to clarify some things..</p>
<p>i also recommend not applying to all the undergrads, its a waste of ur time and application fees. pick a couple that u like and send it through them. i personally did it through rutgers, drew and tcnj. and then each undergrad school decides whether they want to interview or not. some schools, drew for example, interview all their undergrad kids, and have a mandatory interview that must be done by early january. then the next step is the undergrad schools selecting certain applicatino of their interviewed kids to send to the medical school. then the medical school narrows those down and decides interviews. </p>
<p>more than one application from an undergrad may be sent to the medical school. when i went for my interview they had mine from tcnj and drew. and if u are accepted, i believe that u can chose any school that sent ur application forward. </p>
<p>as far as choosing which undergrad schools to apply to, i personally recommend tcnj. its a great school with strong academics. it does have a closed campus that is on the medium small size that is located in a small town. BUT, it is 10 minutes from princeton and trenton and about 40 from philly. i would say that the two schools that are the strongest academically overall that are involved in this ba/md program, are rutgers and tcnj. and tcnj and rutgers give alot of scholarship over, for example drew. But choose schools which are right for u, whehter it be campus style, school population, distance from home, merit/financial aid, or whatever. </p>
<p>hope that helps.</p>
<p>hows NJIT, does it have easier credentials than other schools?</p>
<p>I don't think you guys understand. No undergraduate has an "easier credentials" than any other in the program. You must have a 1400 (M+V) and be in the top 10% of your class to apply. Then, every undergrad school you applied through gives you a first interview. Based on that interview and your file they decide if they want to send it onwards to the med school. </p>
<p>The advantage in applying through more than one undergrad school is that if one school does not send your file onwards another school may.</p>
