help me decide: school x vs school y

.

Thank you in advance. I'm very excited to be accepted to both programs, it's been a long journey! Currently, I'm interested in emergency medicine / general surgery - potentially in academic medicine. Both match-lists look impressive, for what they're worth. I guess I'm looking for...

San Juan Bautista School of Medicine in Puerto Rico vs Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine-Auburn Campus. Hello! I am making this post because I need honest opinions as to best choice here. I am leaning towards SJB, although I understand that both choices have some dilemmas (MD outside...

LECOM-Erie Pros Closest to home, a few hour drive to family, which is very important to me. Very low tuition cost (~33k). I might be able to get away without having to take out any loans. Chose the DSP pathway which essentially means learning independently and do not have to be in class or on...

After three years of applying, I didn't think I would be having to choose from my acceptances, so not a bad problem to have, but I was hoping to gain some insight from you guys about the hardest, most life-altering decision of my life. I have made a pros and cons list for both schools: ARCOM...

Hey guys, I got accepted to both KCU (Kansas City campus) and LMU-DCOM (Harrogate campus). I can't decide on which school to go to and would appreciate some feedback from either current students or just any advice in general. I do not know as much about KCU campus/area wise because I spent...

University of New Mexico Pros Affordable (Tuition ~$18,000 and cost of living is very low) Close to family Seems to have a supportive faculty, relatively low stress Nice facilities, new building Very diverse Cons Ranked less well, I do not know how much that really matters. I have heard...

I have already been accepted to PCOM (Philly campus) but was offered an II to CCOM. How do the clinical rotations of these two schools compare? Is there any significant reason why CCOM would be much better to warrant paying almost 20k more a year in tuition? Also which school would potentially...

Hello! After a rough cycle, I'm so happy to have been offered two seats. I would really appreciate if you could help me choose between these schools. Tuition doesn't matter to me-- I'm trying to focus on location, curriculum, and quality of life (their importances not in any kind of order)...

Hey folks! I'd love some feedback from you guys regarding this decision. I feel like there are so many factors to consider here and I am having trouble figuring out what weight to give each factor. I'm OOS for both Vandy and Pitt, but am excited about living in a new place. I'm interested in...

Hi everyone I am really struggling between Case and SB since they are both really good schools and have the same cost of attendance. Will be so grateful for any opinions! For me: If possible, I hope to specialize, preferably OMFS I enjoy big city life I am international and diversity is...

Hey, guys! So I know this thread has been done already in the past, but in light of the new cycle, I thought I'd start a new one so that I'm not spamming the people from the old one. I recently got into both schools, and they both have some great things going on for them, but they're so similar...

Howard Pros Already confirmed, have a lease DC is probably nicer, haven't spent much time in Brooklyn Have car available Like previous living conditions in grad school The students and other classes are really cohesive Cons Long travel time home, (NY) More expensive Not as ‘competitive...

Just got an acceptance from OSU this morning and now I'm trying to decide between two very similar schools! The prestige difference between OSU & UC is probably negligible, both have great research opportunities, and tuition is very similar at both schools. UC has repeatedly used their...

Trying to decide between U of Maryland and Einstein, am OOS for Maryland. Any thoughts as to which has better research opportunities, better opportunities for residency, better curriculum/rotation schedules? Thanks!

I am a current high school senior in California, and I was lucky enough to be accepted into UCSB (honors), UC Davis (regents), UCLA, and Case Western Reserve University. I'm having trouble choosing between these four institutions. Any help would be much appreciated :) SB: pros- - easiest of...

Hey all, I just want to say I appreciate your advice/input. RVU-CO Pros Curriculum/Board Scores Location (SO, Family, Skiing) UltraSound Emphasis in curriculum Cons Unclear on what rotations look like, quality? Reputation? (I read a lot of issues with CU and "for-profit status", I'd like to...

Thanks, everyone decision made!

Hello friends! I am a high school senior currently applying to colleges. Now, this may be a bit premature (ba-dum), but I just want to close a conflict I have. I know it is tough to believe a 17-year-old, but I feel medicine is my calling and have for some time now. For the record, I have a...

Hi everyone, I was recently accepted to PCOM, and I was planning on putting down my seat deposit. I was looking over the other schools I applied to, and the only other school I think I would ever consider would be Nova. Does anyone have any insight in comparing these two schools? I am from ~45...

I have a bunch of offers but idk where to go. They're all stupidly expensive due to the fact i'm an international student from Canada. But I guess i'd appreciate some insight from alumni or current students attending each university. I'm most leaning towards Stanford or UCSF right now. NYU...

So, I was just accepted off the waitlist at NYIT-Arkansas (Arkansas COM) and was wondering if I should stick with the school I had originally decided on, AZCOM, or should go with this newer program. The school is brand new, with amazing equipment and on a busy campus as well (which I think is a...

Hi everyone, I have a difficult choice to make regarding these schools and I was hoping to get some advice from the SDN community. I think both schools are great for different reasons. I am a NY state resident so I would be in-state for SUNY Buffalo. I would greatly appreciate any advice and...
