I would pay OOS tuition for all (I’m from Miami), and have no idea what specialty I want to go into. Based off your knowledge of the schools, which is the best pick to attend?
I don’t want to live in Detroit (tired of city life) and know that UWM is the best ranking-wise so my current decision is leaning towards UWM > Rutgers > Wayne but I was wondering if anyone has heard anything in particular about any of these schools 👀
UWSMPH:
Pros:
- highest ranking/prestige
- cheapest OOS tuition ($58K)
- easy access to research
- Madison consistently ranked in top places to live in the US
Cons:
- Not as diverse
- heard they primarily match into the Midwest (again can’t access previous match lists apart from last year’s so idk what they typically match into)
- concerned about how much there is to actually do in the area, especially in snowy winters
- you need to move for rotations. I'd be living with my spouse who will be attending grad school. we want to live together so could be messy
Wayne:
Pros:
- super diverse area
- many opportunities to work with underserved
- my best interview experience. Had my best conversations of the cycle with the 1-on-1 interviewers
- match pretty well
Cons:
- Detroit is said to be high in crime and not safe, have never lived there though so idk
- heard the admin isn’t very nice or receptive to student feedback
- $67K OOS tuition (almost tied for most expensive cost)
- MASSIVE class size, potentially less opportunities available due to so many students?
Rutgers:
Pros:
- Chill area to live in
- match pretty well into many competitive specialties, 96% match rate (?)
- very good access to research opportunities
Cons:
- most expensive $70K OOS tuition
- high cost of living in NJ
- lowest in ranking/prestige (but about equal with Wayne I believe)
- Interview experience was very "meh" and a bit messy
