NY Resident just got off the waitlist for Lecom Elmira (branch of Lecom ERIE) after already being accepted to Alabama COM. Interested in Psych, Military med, Internal, Gen surg
Both start the same date 7/26
Lecom Elmira
Pros:
ACOM
Pros:
I guess in conclusion do I want to stay near my support system for cheaper tuition and more strict policies, or attend a more established program with higher boards and match but be 18 hours away from support system at double the tuition. If anyone can tag the goats it would be highly appreciated.
