Hello! I have an acceptance at KYCOM, but just received an interview invite from MUCOM. If I could get some information about which one people think is better that would be great! KYCOM is pass fail, and MUCOM seems to use traditional grading system. Tuition is about the same.

Any feedback is appreciated, thank you!

KYCOM
Pros
- solid residency matches
- rotation spots in northern ky and cincy
- supportive faculty
- one of my best friend's in a M1
- cheap housing

Not sure if this would be a pro or con
- pass fail (although the percentages do go on your transcript)

Cons
- rural
- 3.5 hours from home

Overall I really liked the campus and area around it, but not pikeville itself as much.

MUCOM
Pros
- solid residency matches
- urban location
- 1.5 hours from home
- affordable housing

Cons
-traditional grading scale

I'm not as familiar with MUCOM, so any information about it would be helpful!

Marian has more pluses. Good Collaborations with the IU hospitals can lead to better research opportunities

Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by more pluses?

More pros.

When I have to make a decision I add up the pluses and minuses. You add the pros and cons. Same thing
