2yr premed + 4 Year Med Program

[nystudent]

hey, is anyone here a student in this program?

If so, I have a few questions that I'm hoping an actual student may be able to provide answers for.

I'm a second year college student in NY, enrolled in a 4 year institution [just leaving it unnamed for now]... The whole "become a doctor in 6 years" sounded appealing, but I rather get more information than quickly transfer over to Texas.

What is the average class size? [in both texas and the med school]
Is it possible to work in NY upon completion [approved by NY board?].. if not, where is it approved?
Based on your experiences, is it actually worth moving from NY to Texas/St. Lucia to do this program?.. as opposed to being an undergrad pre-med student for four years and then applying to med school elsewhere in the states?

In the pre-med program, what are the classes/workload like? Competitive? Extra help/additional resources available?
Also, how is the dorming situation?

Sorry for a long post and dragging questions, but before making an extremely important decision in my life... I'd just like to get some feedback. If anyone can private message me, that'd also be great. Thanks!!

Personally, i think it is better to finish your undergrad, to have more things on your resume once you start applying for residency anyways.

The workload is hard, school is around 8-9hrs a day, but everyone who has graduated passed USMLE.

Clinicals spots are availiable here and there, with all rotations availible in chicago and baton rouge, it would be better to contact the school, medical boards in each respective states, and hospitals for conformation via emails about clinical sites that are availible than from students here on the website.
