Pros
Cons
Summary: As of now I don't have any strong opinions about either medical school and I am hoping posting this can start to differentiate between the medical schools and what my decision should shape up to be. I currently do not know of any scholarships to either school and I believe I have an interest in pursuing a surgical subspecialty but not totally set on that.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide!

Pros
- In-state tuition (40k/year)
