What do you like most?

"The professors and faculty will do whatever it takes for you to have a good experience and learn the material." | Report Response

"World class scientists teach preclinical courses. Opportunity to work with leaders in the field on clinical rotations. Great school reputation on residency interviews. Good choice for clinical and academic opportunities." | Report Response

"The plethora of opportunities that are available for everyone. Every kind of research available, ease of shadowing opportunities, student run health clinics among many other volunteer opportunities. The faculty really care about the students. They are so easy to approach and are determined to continually improve the school as is evidenced through their response to student feedback. We also get an opportunity to go out into our community early on in the first two years and later in years 3 and 4 we do rotations throughout all of NC." | Report Response

What do you like least?

"Parking on campus is not possible" | Report Response

"The curriculum is undergoing improvement after an overhaul. Not a huge issue. Clinical evaluations from residents during MS3 year are received late and often reflect feedback the resident has not shared with the student." | Report Response

"Parking is a hassle and we have this class first year called Medicine and Society which I find a waste of time, but i think it is very common throughout other medical schools as well." | 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.
