I am currently a high school junior and have been accepted to a few colleges: Emory, USC, PSU, and UCONN. However, UCONN is offering me their 8 year medical program. Because of my age, PSU is offering me a 7year alternative but it doesn't guarantee medical school until my sophmore year if i do well. I've really cut my options down to USC(I live nearby) and UCONN. In both cases I would be doing my senior year of hs while I am doing my freshman year in college. I could actually apply to different schools/programs next year as a freshman still since I would still be considered a hs senior even tho I will be going to college early. I am torn between the two schools because USC would be a better undergrad school and possibly better med school if I could get in. However, UCONN does give me a guarantee at their med school and I can apply out if I do well during the 4 years undergrad. But if I do well at UCONN and USC, wouldn't going to USC make me a better candidate? Also do residencies care what medical school you go to? at all? How good or reputable is UCONN medical school anyways? I don't want to limit myself but the opportunity of a guarantee is nice too.
Here are some info on the two schools:
UCONN- honors, 1/2 tution scholarship
USC- honors for general ed, honors science, 1/2 tution scholarship
