Hi everyone, I am very fortunate to have two great acceptances to BCOM and ATSU-SOMA. Both deposits are due next week and I am struggling to decide which school would be best. There seem to be strong pros/cons for both schools. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated! I am awaiting my status post interview at Midwestern-CCOM and have a II at PNWU in April.
BCOM-NM
Pros
ATSU-SOMA
Pros
Cons
BCOM-NM
Pros
- Traditional style of curriculum (better for my learning style)
- Overall was really impressed after my interview.
- Recent high COMPLEX pass rates
- For-profit and newer institution
- Further away from home
- More expensive deposit ($2000)
ATSU-SOMA
Pros
- More established/better reputation than BCOM; resonated with their mission
- Has a clinical rotation site in San Diego (my hometown) though not guaranteed I would get placed there.
- Closer to home
- Cheaper deposit ($1000)
Cons
- Group-style learning/curriculum - I hate group projects and am worried about the lack of structure in the curriculum (I have heard mixed reviews from recent graduates)
- Clinical rotation sites are all over the country and the matching seems all over the place.
