I wanted to post this here to get opinions of actual med students. Got into PCOM Philly and awaiting a decision on Howard (but I feel good about it). PCOM Philly has a great reputation and excellent match lists. Howard is regarded as a "lower tier" HBCU medical school, but I also like their focus and mission and environment (DC is pretty awesome). People have been telling me that whenever it's MD vs DO, always go MD unless it's for location purposes. For me, moving doesn't matter. And in this case, is the MD really better than the DO option? I'm just so confused because both of these schools provide great things for me, but I'm hearing more about less options if I choose the DO route. What are some opinions? Go with a top DO school or lower tier MD?
