Hello,
I applied in the 2019-2020 cycle and am literally starting classes at the D.O. school I was accepted to, tomorrow.
Long story short, the dean of my top choice school that I interviewed at (M.D. program) just called me and said that the school is offering me a seat in a master's program. I would be taking classes with the first year students and have to just maintain good grades to get an automatic acceptance the following year to start at the medical school as a first-year student.
The dean told me that with a scholarship the program would only cost around $4k (not including housing) and their tuition (once I start next year as a first-year) is much lower than my D.O. school.
If I accept by tomorrow (the deadline) I have to move all my **** out of my current place and probably move into their housing ASAP, as their classes start next week.
What scares me is that I will be a physician a year later and also be losing that year of physician salary. Plus, I feel like nothing is 100% guaranteed admission like what I have now with my D.O. program that I am already in and I will be graduating in a year later, in 2025.
But I feel like I would graduate less in debt, wouldn't have to learn extra things that D.O.'s learn (like OMM), and wouldn't have to take 2 sets of extra board exams.
SDN, what should I do?
