Hey everyone! I recently got accepted to Ross with their Pathfinder Scholarship—which is a huge help. At the same time, I have an interview at MUA, and I’m feeling pretty confident I’ll get accepted there soon too.
Now, I’m weighing my options and would love some advice. Ross obviously has a larger class size, but they also have a big network and a long track record of residency placements. On the other hand, MUA is much smaller and the overall cost is lower around $200k, which means I’d need fewer private loans.
I’m torn—should I go with Ross for the larger network and potentially stronger residency connections, or lean toward MUA for the smaller class and less financial strain? Any firsthand experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,
I recently applied to Ross University School of Medicine and have a scheduled admissions decision call in 3 days. I’m trying to understand how Ross decides between Direct MD admission, MedOrigin, and MERP.
My stats are:
MCAT: 498
Undergraduate GPA: 3.15
Master’s GPA: 3.67 (Biomedical Sciences)
About 1,200 hours of clinical experience as a nurse aide
U.S. citizen
I was told my admissions decision would be discussed during a scheduled phone call, and I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.
For those who were accepted to Ross:
What were your MCAT and GPA stats? Please try to share since it anonymous
Were you offered Direct MD, MedOrigin, or MERP?
Did Ross schedule a phone call to give you the decision, or was it sent by email?
Based on my stats, would you expect Direct MD, MedOrigin, or MERP?
Do you know anyone with a 495-500 MCAT who was still placed into MedOrigin or MERP?
I’m trying to figure out what is most likely before the call. Any insight from current students or recent admits would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I got Direct Acceptance
