Sackler vs CCOM

[dojacatisTHEqueen]

Need some advice... CCOM (MWU-Chicago) vs Sackler (IMG but a NY state MD license). I don't know if I want to do a competitive specialty but I do know I would like to do my residency in CA so I know I will need to do aways regardless of the program.

CCOM-MWU
Pros:

• in the US but still a few hour flight from my hometown
• have friends in Chicago
• a great DO program
• match very well especially in midwest
• easy to do research

Cons:

• 7a-4p classes kinda sucks
• would need a car to travel to rotation sites
• DO program (not a very big con but I am listing it)
• symptom-based curriculum with weekly tests/exams

Sackler
Pros:

• Have family and friends in Israel
• rotations in Israel are great
• can travel in-between blocks
• Block curriculum
• match list is impressive
• easy to do research

Cons:

• admin sucks
• would be 13 hour flight from hometown
• worried about being classified as IMG

Appreciate the help!
