Which medical school would you suggest I attend? Each school I believe has their own pros and cons but ultimately I want to go to a school that sets me up for rotations (including away rotations) and allows me the best residency opportunities.
Some notes:
TouroCOM Montana will have its inaugural class and is an additional campus to Touro New York therefore it is accredited and has the same curriculum. My concern is the possible lack of rotations and lack of student body engagement since this will be the first class. My optimism is that being the inaugural class will allow me to have a closer connection with faculty and lead more campus initiatives. Additionally I like the prospect of scholarship opportunities, the non-profit status, and feeling secure within the Touro umbrella.
On the other hand....
BCOM has already had multiple matches and has had matches in regions of great interest to me. This school seems great such as the students, clubs, pass/fail curriculum and region. But I am confused and concerned by the feedback about the schools apparent attrition rate and its for profit status. Should that be taken into consideration?
With all these factors in mind how would you suggest I approach a medical school decision?
