| Which college should I go to? A 7/8-year program for Medicine at Ohio State or Duke?
Hey guys, I'm wrestling with a tough decision, and any advice/opinions would be appreciated
I recently got into a 7/8 year medical program at Ohio State University. This program guarantees me a spot in their med school provided that I go to OSU for undergrad. I can choose to do 3 years of undergrad or extend it to 4. I need to maintain a 3.5 GPA through my undergrad to stay in the program, and I don't need to take the MCAT to get into their med school, which is obviously the biggest attraction. If my GPA gets below a 3.5, I do need to take the MCAT and get at least a 29 to remain in the program.
My other option is going to Duke University for my undergrad and applying after 4 years to medical school; obviously, I'll have to keep nearly a 3.6 or so GPA (which is presumably harder at Duke than at OSU) and get a competitive score on the MCAT (33+)
Where do you think I should go? Thanks again for any advice
