⚔️ School X vs. Y Hi all, I’m trying to decide between Brown and Dartmouth for medical school and could really use some help! A Little About Me I want to enter the field of global health and possibly global surgery. My goal is to match in the MGB (Mass General Brigham) system in Boston. I love...

I recently got accepted to Roseman and NYU. i know everyone says to go to the cheapest but my concern is that I go to Roseman and struggle clinically upon graduation more than I would in NYU, in which case I’d prefer to pay extra for better quality education and preparation. NYU Pros -an hour...

Deposit deadline is approaching quickly! KCU Joplin Pros Cheaper tuition (~ $30,000 cheaper after 4 years) Cheaper cost of living P/F grading (see q below) More stable Comlex 1 first take pass rate (92% 2022 | 90% 2023 | 92% 2024) Cons Further away from home (16 hr drive or fly) Smaller...

Hey everyone, I'm super stumped and not sure how to make this decision so please help!! Background: CA resident so most likely will need to move regardless. Not interested in a crazy competitive specialty, most likely going toward primary care or EM. TOURO NY (Harlem) Pros Location! This is...

Hi! I’m trying to choose between 2 schools (SJB SOM and UCC SOM in PR), and a really important factor that I’m taking into account to make my decisions is Step on pass rates. Both schools have info about this on their websites, however, one of the schools doesn’t have the updated 2023 info up...

Hi! I've been accepted to both SJB and UCC medical schools in Puerto Rico. Are there any past, current or future students of these schools that that could help me decide? Both schools seem great and they both have their pros and cons, but I just haven't been able to finally make a choice. Any...

So happy to have two great choices, but that has made this decision difficult. The two biggest factors for me were being able to match competitively (I'm currently interested especially in ophtho) and the financial aid / cost. I haven't been able to discern a difference in either of these two...

Hi! I feel super lucky to be in this position but am having an extremely hard time making a decision. I'd appreciate any advice on what factors I should weigh more heavily and thoughts on the schools in general. Background: I don’t know what specialty I want to pursue. I was initially thinking...

Hi all! I need help deciding between Rosalind Franklin and UICOM (Rockford Campus). I am from the Chicago area and if I went to RFU I would be able to live at home for two years and then move downtown for clinical rotations during 3rd and 4th year. At UICOM, they aren't letting students appeal...

Hi everyone! I'm lucky to have been accepted to these schools, but I'm torn in deciding. Upper middle class, pursuing a career in medicine, and looking to go to a T10 med school and become a surgeon. I also might be interested in the future of medicine technology, startups, etc. Whichever one I...

Hello, I currently got accepted by UDM and Touro (2+2 program and NM for clinical) and really hesitated to make a decision here. I am an international student on F-1 visa, so both programs cost same amounts. I am not considering any specialty for now, so I value most about the quality of...

Hi guys, I've been lucky enough to be accepted into both dental schools. I am from Los Angeles and would obviously have to move out either way and both schools are an equal distance away from me but I was wondering: which school would be better for me career-wise especially if my plan is to...

Hi All, I've gotten an acceptance from both of these schools and would like some feedback to help make a final decision. I'm currently a CA resident so I'm eligible for in-state tuition, and received a tuition waiver to UW making the difference in costs negligible. I'm a UCSD alum and lived...

Hi Everyone :) I was fortunate enough to be accepted into DMU and RVUCOM-CO, and I'm having trouble weighing my options. I will be going the military route to pay for school, so the price isn't as big a deal as setting myself up to specialize competitively. Any thoughts and insights would be...

I've spent the last couple of hours reading through threads to get opinions, but wanted to ask here as well. ACOM Pros - 100% residency placement in 2021, heard of students getting competitive residencies incl. derm (not my interest, but good to know its not impossible for a dedicated student)...

Hello all! I've been accepted to LMU-DCOM and Noorda and have to pay a deposit by mid-December for both schools. For background, I'm a non-trad from Texas, so both schools are quite a ways from me. I'm also interested in urology after working as a urology CMA/scribe for ~5 years, though I know...

Stats: 21 AA, 21 TS, 19 PAT, 3.93 sGPA, 3.97 GPA I applied to 7 schools, interviewed at 3, and was accepted to 1 school this cycle. That school is the super expensive one that you all know what I'm talking about and I know I'm not the first person to be in this position of only getting into...

Hey guys! So thankful to have these options and luckily, the financial aid packages at all schools are similar enough for that not to be a huge consideration. For reference, Harvard would be about $6k a year in tuition/fees, NYU $4k/yr (fees), and WashU is offering full COA. I am not sure what...

PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE Very grateful to be accepted to both schools but struggling to choose between them. BU was originally much more expensive, but I was offered enough financial aid to make total COA essentially even. Both would be far from home (California) and my eventual goal would be to...

I am so happy to be in the position to have more than one acceptance! The problem is deposits are expensive and making the decision is tough! I received an acceptance from Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) and from Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM). I am from the...

I'm planning on choosing BSc Forensics as my premed in Canada. Do you think there's any scope for it there in case I don't get into med school? Will a Masters in Forensics help me land a stable job with a stable income?

Hey guys!! So I've recently been accepted to three pretty amazing schools, feeling incredibly blessed, but the first deposit is dawning on me, and I'd greatly appreciate y'alls insight on how to best go about choosing between these schools: KCU-COM (Joplin) Pros P/F Curriculum No mandatory...

Hi everyone. I am an undergraduate from a state school and I was currently looking at my GPA through an AMCAS GPA calculator. I was disappointed and shocked when I saw my AMCAS GPA being a 3.54 when my BCPM GPA is a 3.74 and AOGPA being a 3.86. I know not much can be said without an MCAT but I...

Hello, I could really use some knowledgeable insight to help me make my decision. I am planning on going the IM route for residency and would like to end up in or as close to DC as possible, as that’s where my partner will be. Not sure how much the school (in my case) impacts that possibility. I...

Hello, I got accepted into Texas Tech (Biology Major) and University of Texas at San Antonio (Biology Major). Which university will help me pursue my end-goal which is Medical school/ dream Medical school which is Baylor Medical. Moreover, taking these following points below into...

Hello all! Thanks for looking at my post. I'm currently trying to decide between attending CWRU or IUSM. Case Western Pros: • Prestige • Strong clinical rotation sites (University Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, VA, Metro) • Great research opportunities • Large amount of time during...

University of Buffalo Pros: - Cheaper than NYU - New facilities - Low rent - in-state tuition after a year I think? Cons: - Cold! - the city compared to nyc NYU Pros: - NYC; I've always wanted to live in a big city and a lot of my friends live there currently Cons: -EXPENSIVE -large...

I have chosen.
