How important is AOA really? My situation is so: Im currently in a grad program that has an associated medical school. Through this grad program I have taken most of my first year medical school classes and done very well-giving me an excellent gpa...now if all goes well and since i've knocked out a good deal of my first year medical classes I'm on my way to AOA. Now recently I've been accepted to both that grad' school's associated medical school and another medical school that has a much higher ranking. If I start my first year at that other "better" medical school I would have to take ALL my classes over again b/c none of them transfer over. Now if i stay at the lesser ranked school I can not only get better grades, b/c my classes transfer over, but will have more time to study for my boards because I will have a lighter load next year as an accelerated M1. It is really important for me to get into a highly ranked residency program and I want to go into possibly Emergency Medicine or Cardiology.
What would you do? Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
