Hi all, I need help deciding!
I am pre-dental and have been accepted to both Mississippi College's and University of South Florida's Masters in Medical Sciences programs. Initially I had decided on Mississippi College because it seems like a better program, but now I'm going back and forth. Here are some pros and cons that I can see right now:
USF
Biggest pro: my family is a 2 hr drive away and I can go visit them on longer weekends and Tampa is a nicer place to live, I think.
Cons: Out of state tuition for me will be $25k, it's a newer program, and 200 students in a class (harder to get LOR's?)
Mississippi College
Pro: Tuition is only about $20k, seems like a good program, and I have a sister that's a 6-hour drive away.
Con: Absolutely nothing to do in a tiny little town like Clinton, but I suppose I will be too busy studying anyway.
I would really appreciate some insight on what you guys think. I've deferred enrollment to spring semester for Mississippi college in case I want to go there. USF, however, starts next week! They are letting me start with the online program, and transfer over to their pre-professional program spring semester, when I'm ready to make the move.
Do you guys think the program really matters? Or, a masters is a masters? As long as I get a good GPA.
Eke! Indecisive me...
