Hi fellow SDNers,
Extremely lucky to have options. I'd be delighted to hear everyone's opinion on it. CA resident. Would like to come back for residency and practice.
From interview days, I really liked both schools. UVM is in a really pretty little town. OUWB is also in a nice area. Students seem reasonably happy. Class sizes are almost the same. Both schools are far, far, (so farrrr) from CA; and both are cold. I think it essentially boils down to reputation and cost. If you can think of any other factors that I should consider, please do recommend.
OUWB is a very promising new school with a strong affiliation with the Beaumont health system (one of the best in Michigan). Although I think the school is gonna go very far, it'll take some time to build that reputation. COA is about $78k.
UVM is the 7th oldest school in the US, so it already has lots of time to build a good reputation. Tuition is expensive AF for OOS but COA comes up to about $82-83k. So $20k more over 4 years compared to OUWB. A small cons with UVM is the more or less homogeneous patient population.
I really appreciate your reading this. Any input is welcomed. Thanks!
P.S. Sorry for the duplicated thread. I posted in SSD but seems like I caught everyone at a bad time.
