Also, I presume you will not be charged tuition for the master's degree, so you only had to add cost of living for an additional year to the 4-year cost of attendance if you went to UAB?

Just pay attention that your academic preparation was in question. As I said, choose a place where you can leverage all resources to succeed academically.
 
If peds or IM are what you’re looking at it would be a poor decision to defer.

I say call up uab and tell them you really want to come this year for the MD program. Ask them if there’s anything you can do to show you’re ready this year.

Seems like the consensus. Bham was in a better, busier location versus South AL and tends to be more diverse than Mobile, which is what I had hoped to be around for for the next couple of years. Regardless I know both schools will give quality education and it’s up to me and my performance there.
 
South Alabama has a much smaller class size, a solid match list, adequate research opportunities, and they have a fantastic children's and women's hospital with patients who come in from all over the gulf coast region. I would go there and not look back if it were me.
 
I was able to scope out and compare the match lists. UAB def has more matches to places I’m interested in in the south but less so for south. Definitely not impossible which makes sense in the long run to just go ahead and do MD with less hurdles. Also, has Step 1 becoming P/F made it more difficult for residencies to asses candidates?
