I'm in both, deposits at both (got into BU first, then UMDNJ later on). I'm an NJ resident so the choice seems obvious money-wise. I'd save some 160k by staying instate over going to BU, but a lot of trash talk has been thrown around about UMDNJ and Newark, and it's kind of killing that "I'm going to save 160k" high.
UMDNJ:
Much cheaper
Great clinical school (definitely my focus)
Nasty location
Scandal
BU:
Boston!
Spread out exam schedule is attractive
So damn expensive
Not sure how to feel about APEX
Any current UMDNJ students who can vouch for their school? I'm 99% going to go there.. but I'd like to nick that 1% at the bud with some positivity about the location and the reputation going in.
