Anyone have any opinions on this?
The most important factor though is what will set me up for a better residency / help me do well on the board exams, and so on. Which school has a better reputation?
To assess this, I looked at the match lists for both schools - what exactly should I be looking for in these lists?
Wayne is about 25k more per year than VCU, which is a factor but not the most important to me. I like Wayne because I can live in Windsor, Canada (which would be nice as a Canadian myself).
Lastly, Wayne is a very traditional curriculum with long days from 9-5, whereas VCU is lecture from 8-12 with group-work stuff ending at 3pm. I think the VCU curriculum (the new one sounds exciting) suits me more.
Just for reference, here are the match lists of most recent years:
