My entire premed career Keck was my DREAM. But the opportunity to come out debt free seems to good to pass. Regardless incredibly excited and grateful with both choices. Any thoughts??
Kaiser
Pros
-close to hometown
-FREE
-Faculty and admission were all very nice
-Nice new modern facility
Cons
-Its a newer school not much reputation (im thinking research opportunities, residency apps)
-Worried about having a limited scope in terms of patient populations (all Kaiser insurance pts)
Keck
Pro's
-Dr. Arias and all my interviewers were some of the nicest and easy-going people I encountered on the interview trail. I have a feeling I would vibe well in the keck environment.
-close to hometown
-LAC Hospital as a core training site
-Strong emphasis on serving surrounding community
-Well established and regarded research opportunities
Cons
-$$$. Estimated COA for 4 years 402,644
(this is the only con I can think of)
