I am currently torn between University of Maryland and UMDNJ. I am a New Jersey resident, and would obviously be guaranteed in- state tuition, if I attended UMDNJ. In terms of finances Maryland would be around 20k more a year, if I was unable to establish residency. After talking to a few students at Maryland, I was under the impression that it is possible to declare residency, but it is not necessarily a guarantee. I feel that Maryland offers a more established program which might lead to more opportunities in the future. I have received notifications from both schools, indicating that I have 15 days to make my decision. I feel that both schools offer a strong clinical and didactic experience. I am so very torn, any input would be greatly appreciated J
