I have been fortunate enough to get into both schools and am now facing a very difficult decision. Basically if I were to attend Nevada, I will have in-state tuition which amounts to about $17,000 per year. Keck is looking to be about $50,000 in tuition.
Looking at the pros of Keck-
Pros for Nevada
I don't know what type of medicine I want to go into so I want to keep as many opportunities open as possible. I guess the question boils down to is the cost of Nevada enough to outweigh the benefits of attending a large, well known CA school like USC? Thanks for you input
Looking at the pros of Keck-
- P/F preclinical years
- recorded lectures
- more research opportunities
- rotations at LA County
- more connections within California and probably across the country
Pros for Nevada
- cost
- close to home
- more rotations at community hospitals so have more opportunities to work directly with attendings
