So I guess Michigan vs. School X ($$) threads are trending these days, but here's mine anyways. At this point, I'm leaning towards taking a full-tuition scholarship at Wayne State but am having a hard time doing so.
Basically,
Michigan (in-state):
-Dream School - amazing facilities, many research opportunities
-Cost of attendance about 180k (pre-interest) - pretty much full price
-Really like their pre-clinical curriculum - flextime quizzes, P/F
-Ann Arbor is a huge plus!
-Match list from 2011: http://www.med.umich.edu/medschool/match/matchlist11.pdf
-More match lists: http://www.med.umich.edu/medschool/match/matchlist.htm
Wayne State (in-state):
-Cost of attendance about 25k-30k total (WAY cheaper) thanks to scholarship
-H/P/F grading with Z-scored grading on exams
-BIG class size (may even be the biggest) - 290 students
-Clinically, Detroit has a lot to offer
-Match list from 2012: (see attachment)
-More match lists: http://www.med.wayne.edu/studentorgs/aoa/Useful%20Links/WSU%20Match%20Lists/matchlist.asp
As for what specialty I want to go into, I really don't know just yet - keeping my options open. I'm really just looking for more insight in case I should be considering something that I am not considering.
