Please help!
I would love to hear some insight on these schools, or ways to get to "know" each school and decide which is the right one for me.

Thanks!

State residency?

NJ

I love NJ but if say LSU is a great school/best choice for me, I would not mind at all being someplace new - it's an adventure

I'm a student at LSU-NO. How are you planning on paying for school? If it's loans, I assume NJ schools would be far cheaper, and I would recommend staying in state assuming you could see yourself being happy there.

I'll be happy to answer any specific Q's you have, though

Agreed with the above poster, and if you have any specific questions about NJMS feel free to ask.

If you want to stay in the Northeast (NJ, NYC, etc) for residency, the NJ schools will have some advantage.

If you go to NJMS, all your rotations will be in or around Newark, NJ and honestly the clinical experience is fantastic and you learn a whole lot during 3rd and 4th year. This just in itself is a whole reason to come to the school. I dont have that much insight to offer as far as RWJ, so maybe there's someone else on here who does, but I can tell you that people at NJMS are for the most part very happy and it's an all-around positive environment to be in. I bet 1st and 2nd year are fairly similar for both schools.
