GWU WEBDROP VS DRPO PRO
I looked into a few programs with the NIH and I did consider that a pro and research opportunities would be great. I'm not married to ID but I really like it. Also, you might be able to use the extra time you have to get some more meaningful research done in the field, which could only help you in your career". "If you're really dead set on ID, consider that the NIH is just down the road if you're in DC. What are your home state alternatives? FSU, UCF, UM (Very expensive and not as much money available as the other two)Īre you willing to consider HPSP or a loan repayment program? I have not considered HPSP however, I did consider NHSC. Is anyone offering scholarship/grant money? GWU is offering more money in scholarships I found a number of apartments in VA comparable in price to IL (but still more expensive, i.e.

Pro-I felt welcome and I could picture myself as a student in this institution, the students and staff seemed to help each other a lot (more of a cohesive team) There aren't as many cons however, I worry about the level of exposure to specialities I may be interested in since the community is primarily rural (One of the benefits of GWU is the urban setting, which closely mirrors the type of community I want to practice in) M1 = Urbana, IL M2-M4 = Peoria, IL (I'm from Miami so I would have to move twice) Must complete a Summer Prematriculation Program (7 weeks, 70+ on comprehensive exam) Placed in Peoria, IL (Not Chicago, which is where I interviewed) Pro-I loved the school, Love D.C., Felt like they were really proactive with the student body First year is decelerated into two years (probation)Ĭon - 5 year probation (increased cost of living), potential problems explaining to residency programs about 5yr pgm, 2nd year will accelerate (false sense of security from first year) Must pass exams within one standard deveiation below the mean (Released from program if not satisfied) GWU 5 year decelerated program (Stigma doesn't matter to me) in Epi and have considered an Infectious dx specialization. I'm a URM with a good GPA (3.94 non-sci and 3.92 sci) but low MCAT. programs and was having difficulty deciding.
I'm new to the sdn and had a general question.
