I have consider that, esp looking at the board rates. Lowest among all the schools- though not sure if it's due to covid or the program itself. Other programs didn't seem to have a problem during the past few years during covid, so it really makes you second guess the program. Will need to do a bit more research before I fully commit for sure!
My top schools are RFU and SMU (mainly b/c my sister lives in SF and owns a house, so i'd be living with her 30mins away from campus, and most of my relatives are in northern Cal. I just have a better support system in Cali.) The house is already paid off, so i would just be helping with utilities, so attending SMU is ideal for me cause COL would be pretty much non-existent).
I'm mainly interested in RFU for the research opportunities and board rates are good. If I get an Acceptance, i'd have to visit the campus and get a feel for the school. I also have relatives in chicago, so I wouldn't be against attending RFU if it was an option.
Wondering if someone who attended SMU or is a current student could talk a bit more about how the school helps preps their students for boards 🤔, I did ask this during my interview to the student interviewer, but they were just starting to study for their boards.
