Kaiser (Full tuition + COA) vs. Johns Hopkins with $200,000 in loans. Any thoughts?
I am not sure of speciality yet. I want to experience the clinic and clerkships and explore options during medical school.
$200k in loans isn't terrible, and you can reasonably pay it off even in lower-paying specialties - so long as you're strategic with your lifestyle for a bit after residency. With P/F step on the horizon, I'd be hard-pressed to pass on Hopkins versus a new school, even if I wasn't interested in anything competitive yet.
