What do you like most?

"The supportive faculty, great teaching, how everyone seems to go the extra mile. I'm not sure what the other reviewer experienced but we never have had any 8 week modules. All of them are 6 weeks except for two (now)- no test is ever worth 90%- the most was 85% but the other 15% are "gimme points" for essentially showing up. For first year, all you need to succeed is powerpoints, no textbooks. Second year, like most places, you should be reading Robbins. We have a great student academic support office which offers free tutoring, review courses for almost every module AND step 1, and one on one and small group help." | Report Response

"Nothing, it's horrible!!," | Report Response

What do you like least?

"Nothing." | Report Response

"No teavhing takes place for many classes, you're uust on your own for so many classes and there's just one cu,ulative test at the end of an 8 week module that 's 90 percent of your grade. Please don't go here!!!," | Report Response

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
