I have a really conflicted messages after reviewing all the message boards. Some praise it completely and others have nothing negatives on it. I was accepted go both institutions and I really need some more insight on what are exactly the PROS vs CONS ?

When you say "it", which one are you talking about?

 

[SLC]

Which ATSU campus are you referring to?

 

[Dr.Ray]

and which Western Campus?

 

[YiSheng]

What are your location preferences? These schools are located in different regions so where you ended up wanting to practice might play a role in your decision.

 

[dntke1518]

They could both be western schools as ATSU has a Arizona campus

Need. More. Info.

Also, I am biased in this decision and will maintain my bias in this decision.

Western COMP.... unless you have some ties to Kirksville, Personally I would go with western cuz its close to LA and LA is awesome!

 

[SweetScience87]

LA is awesome but I honestly prefer San Fran, but I'm trying to go to a good med school man not partying... Lol I was thinking this school has better rotations from for radiology or something etc

meh, too much traffic in LA. plus, it's not like there will be many opportunities as a med student to party with all the celebrities 😛

Rotations are gonna be what you make of them...I've never heard of one school being strong in rotations in radiology; it's the hospital, and there are lots of hospitals to choose from going to KCOM.

Both schools are fine choices, but I'm partial to KCOM. Also, I didn't apply to Western so I don't know much about it.

ETA: DO's can't be radiologists anyways, so what difference does it make?

 

[DrWily]

Western if you like people. KCOM if you like to live in BFE and foreveralone.

 

[JeetKuneDo]

BFE, never heard of that before. Had to urban dictionary it.

 

[YiSheng]

Me neither and I had to look it up too! Haha

Not sure if serious (Can't catch sarcasm lol) ? I've shadowed a DO radiologist, many of them working together.

Really? I thought it was a pretty common saying. I mean, I found a magnet for it when I was in Vegas a few months ago.
