Iowa (OOS) vs. Maryland (OOS)

[Marspumpkin]

I was fortunate enough to get 4 acceptances, and narrowed my option to maryland and Iowa. I am oos to both schools. Assume that the cost are the same, which school has higher specialization match rate for omfs or ortho? Which school should I go??

Ppl are going to be more familiar with Maryland's program and say Maryland when for all we know Iowa has a great program supportive of specialization pursuit. You're going to need to ask current Iowa students to get a fair comparison.

If there isn't a clear cut choice, go with the cheaper school. I have a favorable impression of Iowa's school but I dont know why.
