Cooper MD vs Rowan DO

[Mariokart101]

Hello SDN community,

I am having a hard time choosing between Rowan DO and Cooper MD. Some things to consider: first time living away from home, thinking about EM, don't have any grudge against DO, and honestly I liked both schools but Camden was...you know Camden.

What are your thoughts on which school to choose?

Cooper. MD opens more doors, always choose the path of least resistance

Cooper hands down. You should always go to US MD school when you have the option. It's not worth dealing with the hassles of COMLEX, OMM, weaker rotations and locking yourself out of some specialties before starting school.

You don't but residency program directors do. Go MD.

To be fair Rowan likely has equal quality rotations and has a lot of their own residencies even in competitive fields. Still doesn't change the obvious choice though.

Cooper has the largest health system in South Jersey with a 700+ bed acedemic hospital right next to the school, and Anderson MD cancer center right next to that and >100 out patient locations throughout the region with over 70 different specialties and subspecialities. Their EM program is also fantastic being that they are the only level 1 trauma center in SJ; it’s probably the biggest focus of the cooper healthcare system. Gotta go cooper my friend
