So I was pretty set on TUNCOM but got a last-minute call from COMP, which was the only school that I hadn't withdrawn my application from.
Now it comes down to these two. I feel absolutely blessed and want to make the best decision (although I'm sure either one would be great). Mostly I'm wondering if there are any major factors to consider that I haven't already come up with. Here's what I have so far:
COMP relative strengths:
Closer to family (approx. 2-hour drive) and current friends (approx. 45-minute drive)
More established
Honors/Pass/Fail (Very very much a plus for my preferences)
TUNCOM relative strengths:
Smaller class size (I like this a lot)
Location in Nevada (I really would like to leave California, for personal reasons)
No class on Fridays -> added flexibility
Unknowns: Rotation quality - although TUNCOM is the only medical school in the region and thus might have less competition?
Draws: Due to certain specific circumstances, cost is not a deciding factor.
Am I missing anything? Thanks
