Cooper (rowan) vs USF core

[balh1010]

Hey everyone! Here are some pros and cons for each. I would love some insight into which to choose lol

USF

• Tiered grading (H/HP/P/F) for preclinical and clinical
• tuition is higher (around 10K per year)
• higher-ranked (~50)
• AOA after matching
• class size is about 130
• Have home residencies for all specialties
• Tampa has a higher cost of living but would be a cool place to live
• both NBME and in-house exams
• no internal rank (i think)
• haven't said anything about scholarships yet and are super delayed with it

Cooper

• P/F preclinical and tiered grading for clinical
• cheaper tuition
• in house exams only
• class size is about 112
• in state/closer to family and friends
• lower-ranked (~110)
• the tour of the school was given by the assistant dean and he seemed nice and involved with the students
• AOA before matching
• Have home residencies for all specialties (i believe)
• internally ranks students
• 100% match rate, mostly in the northeast
