Hello everyone,
I am a bit confused in deciding between these two schools that I have received acceptance; CUSOM and CCOM. They seem very different in what they have to offer, but I loved both at my interviews. I made somewhat of a rough Pros and Cons list for each school. Can anyone offer some advice as to deciding between these two schools. The main concerns on my mind are: what are the quality of rotations? How important is a more established school versus relatively new school when it comes to matching into competitive residency? Is the high cost of attendance to CCOM really worth it? Will attending a new program such as CUSOM make it difficult to match into a competitive residency?
Looking at the variety of rotations that CCOM has to offer, it seems to have much more in opportunity. With being far out from how rotations influence residency and more, I am looking for some info on this topic. I am from NC and CUSOM would be only a couple hours drive. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
