Hi!! Im an FL resident deciding between these three schools. I am leaning towards FIU but I know that NYMC is way more established.

Pros of FIU include - board score, being close to home, weather, loved interview day, IS tuition
Cons - graded system

Nothing at NYMC really stuck out to me besides the connections to the NYC hospitals and research

I'm just a little worried about "rankings". CMSRU seems to have higher "ranks" but I think the matches for FIU are much better.

Thoughts??
 
Congrats on all of your acceptances!!! I was also accepted to FIU and a few others schools. I have the same pros and cons as you, except an extra con with total cost of living. The total cost at FIU makes it just as expensive as some of the OOS schools i have been accepted to. :/ I still loved fiu though. They have an amazing atmosphere and environment. Not to mention the best step scores in the state! But the expenses and grading system make me worry...
 
Can you elaborate on FIU's grading system? What about FIU's interview day made it so great? Your pros for FIU seem pretty substantial to benefiting you in the future if you consider the lower cost, better board scores, lower stress since close to home.
 
Go where you love, and that sounds like FIU. Congrats on all your acceptances!
