Hello !
I have been accepted at both USF Morsani and FAU. I’m terrible with decisions and am asking for insight that any of you may have.
FAU -
I have been incredibly pleased by their program thus far. P/F grading. The vibe felt very welcoming and friendly. The admin seem very geared towards helping in any way they can AND they have the ability to since the class size is so small. Admin promised many available opportunities for research / volunteering. Their match list is pretty decent, with plenty of matches into my specialty of interest going years back. My only :/ about the school is I’ve heard they are lacking clinically as compared to other FL schools. They are also not as established.
USF -
On virtual second look day, the admin were pretty harsh and said things that left a bad taste in my mouth. Grading is unfortunately HH/H/P/F. HOWEVER, USF has tgh as an academic hospital — which I love. They are also a more established school with greater resources for research and clinical experience than FAU. Their match list has been shaky these last few years (high SOAP rate, low high-competition specialty matches), but still solid matches for my specialty of interest.
While I don’t like the graded system of USF or their recent matches, I can’t look past their ample resources and academic hospital. FAU seemed incredibly inviting and like a school I could also thrive at if I put in some extra effort
If there are any current students that would be willing to chat / answer some questions to help me in my decision, please shoot me a message! It would be much appreciated.
