Hello Everyone,
I just got off the waitlist at VCOM-VA and am deciding between this school and UNECOM. I am a native Californian so both of these schools will be a pretty big shift for me, coming from the west coast. I did live in Charlottesville, VA when I was very young for a few years but have been in CA ever since. I also do have family in both the NEW England and DC areas.
I understand that the shift will be big regardless of what school I choose, but I guess the major factor for me is the quality of IM residencies from both of these schools and research opportunities. Typically, I would like to have a big city feel but in this case both of these cities seem to be pretty rural (Biddeford and Blacksburg).
Ideally I would like to practice in the Boston area in the future if on the east coast. However, I also understand that VCOM is close to V-TECH so maybe this opens up more research opportunities for me for my residency prospects compared to UNECOM?
Thanks! @DO2015CA
