NEOMED vs MSUCOM

[deleted1122292]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to decide between these two schools. Here is what I know so far when comparing them:

NEOMED:

- 85k a year (that's without living expenses)
- in Rootstown, Ohio so nothing to do at all
- Unranked school



MSUCOM:

- 65k a year
- in East Lansing which is really nice
- Top DO in the nation



Any and all help, advice, and criticism will be truly helpful!

MSUCOM for sure. Especially if you are saving 20k a year

Depending on what specialty you might wanna do, it might be more beneficial to go MD even if it's an unranked school.

sorry I agree with @DrStephenStrange I was thinking of a different school, go to NEOMED. The MD route will have less resistance.

Any idea if you could get in-state tuition after the first year? I have the same question as an OOSer for NEOMED

You can get in state after a year, this is a question they answered for me after I interviewed.

MSUCOM is a really really great DO school that has a vast statewide campus system for clinical rotations that contain all types of residency programs. We have people match ENT, ortho, ophtho, derm every year. Granted you will have to work really hard regardless of MD or DO to match in these specialties. MD will grant you more doors typically but MSUCOM can get you into a specialty you want.
