Hi everyone, I can't seem to post this in the DO specific forum and did not see any current threads about these schools. I have some thoughts about the pros/cons, but feel free to disagree or point me to resources you feel may be helpful. I am a Michigan resident and attended MSU as an undergraduate. Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
MSU COM (Detroit Campus)
Pros: 1) there seem to be more opportunities available for research, 2) ~9k/year cheaper tuition, 3) urban area with outreach programs, 4) COM appears very transparent
Cons: 1) small satellite class size, 2) Detroit rotation not guaranteed (there are many rural clinical sites)
AT Still KCOM
Pros: 1) seems to have a little bit better of a national reputation ( does anyone know more about the match?), 2) really enjoyed the faculty on the Zoom interview
Cons: 1) rural (I grew up in a town like this, but really would rather live in a city), 2) must travel OOS for rotations, 3) concerned about the lack of research opportunities (although it sounds like there is a lot of OMM work going on)
