i'm trying to figure out my ranking of schools, but i'm stuck here. can you guys please help me? thanks for any advice or personal experiences you can offer.
here are my thoughts:
brown:
1. good curriculum and clinical opportunities
2. great matchlist
3. (-) approx. 10K more per year...ouch!
ucla/drew:
1. it's cheaper! CA resident so in-state tuition
2. closer to my family & friends
3. extensive clinical exposure to the underserved
4. ucla has a great curriculum
5. (-) accreditation issues with the King hospital...not sure if this will effect residency matching?
*the ucla/drew admissions staff said that if clinical rotations arent adequate through the king hospital, theyll send us to ucla affiliated hospitals. it was great to hear that ucla will do whatever it takes to support this program, but at the same time, these accreditation issues are concerning.
*b/c of the accreditation issues at king, i think it'd be better to go with brown, but it's also more $$$ and further from family & friends. 😕
