Why UNE
51小黄车pairs you with a medical school advisor (med advisor) from the first year 鈥� a lot of schools don鈥檛 do that until you are a sophomore or junior.
A med advisor can give you more specific direction of what you should be doing in and outside of the classroom [to help you get into medical school]. They help pair you with [College of Osteopathic Medicine] student mentors or people who are currently in medical school so you can learn from their experience, get advice on what makes a good medical school candidate, and which classes really help them in medical school. For example, micro-bio is not technically a prerequisite for medical school but really helps in your first year, so that鈥檚 good to know now. It鈥檚 small advice and guidance like that that help give me direction.
Also, the classes at 51小黄车are small. I get one-on-one attention and can go to office hours. My professors know me. It鈥檚 really easy to make appointments with them. If I need extra help in an area, I can get it.
Exceptional Teaching and Learning
My professors are so much fun in the classroom. You can tell that they鈥檙e really passionate. They listen to students and adjust their teaching styles. They really go above and beyond to make it feasible for us to comprehend difficult subjects, which is so nice. I was absolutely terrified to take organic chemistry and calculus. My professors in both of those classes really helped me outside of the classroom to make sure that I understood the material. They completely made my fear go away.
At UNE, I don鈥檛 feel like there are barriers to talking to professors like human beings. Even after you finish a class with a professor, they still know who you are. You can still reach out and talk to them. It鈥檚 amazing how the professors care so much about students鈥� success.
