[docman457]

Any thoughts on nycom vs umdnj? In particular is it worth going on an interview this late at nycom with an acceptance as umdnj?

No. UMDNJ is way better.

No. UMDNJ is way better.

Any insight as to why? I do want to go into a specialty I believe at this point in my life

UMDNJ even if OOS.

Umdnj, to my knowledge, is a lot cheaper, it has a better reputation, and it appears that nycom is having trouble right now (high attrition, dissatisfied students). Both nycom and umdnj have pretty good residency programs with most specialities represented. However, umdnj's class size is significantly smaller than nycom's, which means less internal competition per spot.

That is really helpful thank you very much.

Dude, take that SOM acceptance and fly with it. NYCOM is a great school but has its hiccups, as any school does, but at SOM, you will prob be a) happier and b) not one of the ~40 kids that gets weeded out/fails out/drops out/leaves.
