That’s a little different predicament as pods are conectrated in those areas due to the school. But yes you are right but it doesn’t make much for a valid point. On the plus side of that if where you want to live or practice is away from the pod schools, you probably have a nice advantage. Such as the south and Midwest.

Why I chose Scholl since it’s away from Chicago and the busy streets/DMU over Temple/NYC. Way too hectic and annoying for me lolHaha after dealing with NYC rush hour for years I'm ready to move to a rural area!

I got accepted to scholl and DMU with a scholarship last month ended up picking Scholl for some personal reasons. Both of the schools are look/feel amazing. Liked both much more than temple. Didn’t go to NYC thoughHaha I am actually from that area. How do you like the school? I'm applying next year.

True. Better to try and pass the boards and get a residency and go through the crucible now, rather than clobbering together part time gigs as a pharmacist.
Tbh I’m one of those people who DONT think everyone should get a residency. Someone shouldn’t be a Pod if they can’t pass boards, do well academically, or communicate well. I bet those are the majority of people not finding residencies. I’m ok with that
I think we’re all a little bit spoiled to be honest. We’re comparing MD/DO to Pod when in reality finding a job as a Pod is probably a close second meaning it’s still easier than really 99 percent of other professions/graduates/undergrads. Maybe not 99 percent but the VAST majority. We’re really sitting hear arguing over some percentiles and residency spots. It’s nonsense and a waste of time really just work hard and opportunities will come.

Gotta get a residency bro.
He has an uncle who hires Podiatrists and a couple of people in his family already in the field. With so many connections, i really don't know why he's concerned.

And it’s kind of weird how you have been following me so closely and then telling everyone on the forum everything I do.

But I will put my deposit for DMU.Congrats on your acceptance. I'm sure you will do great. I am aiming to take my MCAT in September. With an October application an I too late to be competitive for scholarship money from Scholl?
September-December is still early. If your stats are competitive, you will get the scholarship anyways.
From what I see, DMU is more focused on GPA and Scholl is more focused on MCAT, in general.
