Hi everyone! I had the opportunity of getting accepted into two schools and am seeking out some extra insight and opinions on here! I plan to decide by today or tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
OUWB
Pros
Pros
OUWB
Pros
- tight knit community feel, smaller class size
- students seem very happy and supported
- Beaumont hospital system is strong and allows for many diverse opportunities
- harsh weather, esp for an Arizonan native
- HP/P/F
Pros
- 1.5 years for preclinical
- Commuting within Richmond is a lot easier, hospitals will be nearby as well
- P/F
- More well-established as a medical school
- Beautiful area and nice weather
- Did not seem as community-driven as OUWB
- Not many direct flights to Virginia, so commute will be a little more strenuous for myself or my loves ones (although in the long run, this is not a huge deal)
