RowanSOM

Pros:
  • northeast
  • closer to big city
  • felt more involved in mentorship and guidance
Cons:
  • new curriculum? combining sgl and pbl
  • no big 10 school vibes
MSUCOM

Pros:
- very strong research and reputation
- research seems more accessible in curriculum
- east lansing is college town which I enjoy

Cons:
- matches for ortho seem very centered in michigan
- just overall vibes seemed less connected with faculty I encountered and spoke with


Summary: I am OOS for both these schools and just wanted more opinions and thoughts about this decision. I am very set on ortho surg at the moment and can see myself more in the northeast for the next 10 years which is why I am leaning towards RowanSOM. Side note: RVUCOM - CO is also an option and being in Colorado sounds awesome but this school doesn't seem to be in the same tier from what I've gathered
