I was lucky to have received acceptances from Colorado University School of Medicine (CUSOM) and California University of Science and Medicine (CUSM).
CUSOM
pros:
pros:
Please let me know what you think and if you think there are other things worth considering too about each school!
CUSOM
pros:
- 1 year preclinical, 3 years clinical curriculum (& higher class avg STEP scores)
- many matched into competitive specialties (although I still don't know what I would want to specialize in yet)
- T30 school
- may be harder to match into Cali for residency (where I really want to be for residency)
pros:
- Cali school, (thus more likely to be able to do residency/match back in Cali)
- not fully accredited yet
- may not be able to match as easily to competitive specialties due to it being less prestigious/newer school
- 2 years preclinical/2 years clinical curriculum (I think I'd prefer the 1year/3years curriculum for my learning style)
Please let me know what you think and if you think there are other things worth considering too about each school!
