Answer 1 :
I would highly recommend going to Rutgers University, though perhaps I'm a bit biased because I'm a Rutgers University student. But here we go... 1. Rutgers University has the advantage of being a large school - more options for majors that could lead to medical school, you can find the one that's right for you, more options for classes so you aren't stuck in one route to graduation and possibly get shut out of classes, more students means more graduates and therefore more alumni, which are crucial for getting placed into adventitious internships which can help get you into medical school. 2. Name recognition. Outside of New Jersey, TCNJ isn't very well known. I'm from Maryland originally and before moving up the east coast I had never heard of TCNJ. Consider where you are planning on going to medical school - if it is in the immediate area, this probably doesn't apply, but if you're farther south or west, it may become an issue. 3. Test preparation - Rutgers offers course in MCAT test prep, as well as private (FREE) one on one tutoring for classes and tests as well as group study and televised reviews. 4. Quality of undergraduate education in preparing you for medical school. Med school is extremely tough, you have to be prepared for what you're getting yourself into. Going pre-med at Rutgers is very popular and therefore very competitive, the programs are top notch and they attract our best and brightest - producing well prepared students to go on to be doctors. 5. Local hospitals - we are surrounded by Robert Wood Johnson and St. Peter's hospitals, which are literally within walking distance from the university. Opportunities to get great hands on experience are infinite. Be sure to do your research though on both schools and make the decision thats best for YOU. Good luck!
