VCU vs Wisconsin
Hey Everyone! I previously picked VCU for medical school but I was just accepted to the University of Wisconsin off of the waitlist and am looking for advice. I would love people's opinions especially former students of these schools!

University of Wisconsin Madison vs Georgetown
I'm torn between UWSMPH and Georgetown SOM and can't decide where I'd be a better fit. I like a service-driven school with ample research opportunities and the highest chance of matching back into Chicago (my home city) for residency. I'm also leaning towards competitive specialties rn. The city I live in also does not really matter to me
UWSMPH
Pros - closer to my family and friends, slightly smaller class size (~170s), match well into Illinois (10 in 2021), easy access to research
Cons -...

Potential missing pre-req question
I was recently accepted to the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine. However, I am concerned I may not meet one of the pre-requisite requirements. The specific course was second semester general biology. My major was in Cell and Molecular Biology and I took many courses in the biological sciences including a genetics course. In fact my degree program used the genetics course in place of a second semester general bio course. Will my offer be rescinded because of this? Should I contact...

Looking for advice from someone who has been admitted to NYU Grossman School of Medicine
Ahoy all,
My name is Kris and I am a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin. However, I have always wanted to go to medical school in New York. It's been my dream long before I was even in high school, believe it or not! I am looking for some advice from anybody who has been admitted to NYU Grossman School of Medicine, as it's my absolute top choice.
A few things I am looking for:
1. If you're willing to share, what was your undergraduate GPA and MCAT scores?
2. What extracurricular...

Case Western vs. University of Wisconsin SMPH
U Wisconsin SMPH
Pros
1.5 year pre-clinical curriculum seemed very progressive and, as they told me, helped a lot of students with Step 1
Campus culture felt very friendly, collaborative
Lots of innovative research taking place
Madison is a great college town, and coming from Michigan I'm pretty used to harsh winters so that's not a big concern
MEDIC student-organized free clinic is something I'm very interested in doing
Cons
Haven't been able...
