I know it's still early, but I'm trying to get as much information as possibly. This is a big decision so I'd really appreciate everyone's input/thoughts
I live in Dallas, prematched with TCOM and interviewed with Dell and McGovern.
Dell: It was my first interview and I REALLY enjoyed it. Having a small class and living in Austin would be cool. My concerns are it being new, not having as many hospitals for rotations, and the curriculum. Not sure if I like not having traditional lectures though (if someone knows more about this please share, I don't have much info on this). Although, true P/F the first (and only) preclinical year.
McGovern: Don't love the thought of living in Houston. Students in the interview said commute is a hassle. P/F only the first semester. But great reputation, and TMC!!!
TCOM: I love the thought of living in Fort Worth and being an hour away from home where I can visit on the weekends. It's a great area and pretty good reputation. P/F first 2 years. Also super cheap tuition. Downside: DO. Don't think I'd want to go into a crazy competitive specialty but that could definitely change so I can't rely on that.
Thanks in advance!!
