Please help me decide.

I am currently very interested in Emergency Medicine and/or Otolaryngology

Cost: they are pretty much the same for an OOS like me
Weather: both are cold (I'm a California native)
Grading: Albany is EH/E/G/M/U throughout
WMED is P/F for M1 and M2 and then H/HP/P/F for M3 and M4

Albany match to EM -11% / Otolaryngology 2%
WMED EM-13% / Otolaryngology 0%

Albany is an old school which is reflected on the building/hospital (as told by the current students) but good research opportunities and has a hospital with a large patient population.

WMED is new and gorgeous, yet i'm not sure what the implications of being a new school are. Students do clinicals through affiliate hospital - Ascension Borgess Health and Bronson Healthcare.

are there any factors im missing that I should be considering?

if you have any knowledge about these schools, which do you think would make the match process easier from what they have to offer?

Albany is a much more established institution so more reputable compared to WMed which seems to be a new schools that recently got their accreditation. I would go safe and go for Albany
