It's very early in the game, but I have received interviews from both MSSM and DGSOM. In preparation for my interviews (and if I am fortunate enough to actually get into both at some point), where would you all choose to attend and why?

For me, the issue would be NY vs LA. Going to med school in each location may increase your chances for the residency programs in the nearby areas too. I suggest you look at the school-specific threads for specific reasons why people like these schools.

Are you a California resident? If so I'd pick UCLA due to cost. Also, if you qualify for one of their new full ride scholarships then it would be a no brainer. Otherwise, it's basically a matter of fit and where you'd rather live.

Qualify? They are merit based, I don't think you have to do anything specific to qualify other than be a baller.
 
Moved to School Specific Discussions, the appropriate forum to discuss specific schools.


I definitely wouldn't stress out too much about the decision until after you have been accepted and actually have a make a decision. Do your best, for all you know the decision may be made for you. 😉
