Choosing between these three schools. Tried my best to list and codify some things.
My SO and I currently live in Portland and my parents/family live in eastern Montana. My SO is also pursuing a graduate degree in the area and will not be able to move with me, therefore choosing PNWU or Western gives me the ability to drive to them. I have moved four times in four years and am growing tired of packing Uhauls/resettling into places. I hold nothing against DO's (hence why I am posting this), though I feel like going the MD route might give me better access to research ops, more biochem in the curriculum, and less uninformed people giving me the stink-eye throughout my career. I am currently leaning towards FM or IM -> Oncology, so I have yet to decide on how much of a focus on research I want to have. Please share any and all helpful info you may have regarding these schools. Props to people who say "I would choose this school because ________".
