* both OOS

-- You can add a poll if you would like to --

Post:
School 1: Case Western Reserve University
Pros:

• 10k less
• 4 years in one place
• Brand New facilities and SIM lab
• In house residencies
• partially pass fail, partially graded
• no issue getting patients
• desireable city living
• has a repuation for good clinical experience

Cons:

• has negative admin reviews online
• farther from home , COLDER
• not too many students who are parents here

School 2: ATSU MOSDOH
Pros:

• Decent admin, very welcoming
• lots of student run clubs and divsersity
• Good amount of student parents- indicating better ability of success
• Seems safer - less crime
• advocates for the underserved ALOT
• whole body healthcare/holistic

Cons:

• graded
• have to move after 2 years
• external rotations
• no inhouse residencies

Summary: I had fully commmitted to MOSDOH because I like the atmosphere. However, I do not like the small town, having to move, or the all graded dynamic. They accepted me on Decision day, which was a great feeling. Case Western accepted me April 30. I know I don't owe these school any loyalty, but my conscience feels grateful for having been picked at all. I consider myself a city girl at heart want the best clinic experience. Not having the opportunity to shadow residencys in house seems like a major drawback. I also have a spouse and toddler. Which puts more pressure on me to make the right descision. Please help!

I wouldn't say Case is partially pass/fail. It is almost entirely graded with the exception of a very few courses overall. Admin is a huge issue still, and I would advise against it, especially when you consider cost.

Also, there are definitely issues with getting patients and clinic expectations!!!
