For those of you who have had multiple interviews already and expect multiple acceptances on December 1st, you will have a tough decision to make. Some of the following are what I will use to help guide my final decision: (overall cost, location, residency options, curriculum, patient pool, cost-of-living) What factors (especially those I may have forgotten!) will be important in helping you choose which school to ultimately attend?

For me, costs play a significant role especially since we invited a socialistic man in office.
 
My intent with this thread was not to be presumptuous. I wanted to see what factors were important when comparing schools so I could be prepared in case I am blessed with 2 or more acceptances. Not much else to do when waiting for 12/1 to roll around...

You and us are in good process.

Actually, prompt decision will make many people happy. (You, Other pre-dents, and School)

At this point, you may have idea of which school u will immediately make a deposit, if accepted.

Anyway, I still can't judge it from each school's location. I need more investigation on this! Actually, I am researching on this matter every day. :laugh:
 
Doc Toothache gave it to ya rough! Sheesh.. to the OP, I think your hopes are quite reasonable 🙂
