As of right now Im accepted to a top-tier D.O. school that Id be very happy attending in the fall, while also on the WL at 2 MD schools and waiting to hear a decision post-interview from another. I have an interview scheduled at GW in the future and am not sure if I should go.
Obviously its well know GW has a very high tuition on top of a very high cost of living. Assuming I get no merit-based or need-based scholarship money, the cost of attendance will probably be around 85-90k.
Id like to get anyones opinion on whether it is worth going to an MD school and be close to if not over 500k in debt, or go to the way more affordable DO school.
As of right now im interested in radiology, some surgical fields, anesthesiology, cardiology maybe...as you can see I don't really know 100%. Im aware that theres no guarantee I get into GW after the interview, but I don't want to waste the money or the interview slot to go to D.C. knowing im not going to attend.
Everyones opinion is welcome and if I didn't explain my situation very well, feel free to ask questions.
Thank you, its greatly appreciated.
