Hello! I'm deciding between Cornell and Tufts this cycle and would love to hear insight from students at either program.

I am IS at Tufts, but their cost is comparable to OOS at Cornell; 66-67k per year for tuition, totaling 100k for COA.

I'm interested in pursuing in wildlife medicine/infectious disease. I know Cornell has very strong wildlife funding and opportunities, and was wondering how Tufts compared. I've looked into the Tufts wildlife clinic work study and was wondering if there are any other opportunites/experience for students interested in wildlife?

I'm going to go through vet school open-minded and am also interested in potentially specializing in small animal medicine. Does either school provides better opportunities or placement for internships and residencies post-grad? I have looked at the VIRMP match data and it looks like Cornell may have better residency matching stats in recent years, but was wondering if anyone could speak to their personal experience.

Would love to hear about any perspectives that folks have about either school and the surrounding areas! Any general insight about the respective programs/curriculums, as well as your specific experiences would be really appreciated.

Thanks so much!
