interviewed at vcom and absolutely loved it, also interviewed at duqcom and loved it but am hesistant since it is a brand new school, i'm not sure if i want to ride it out on faith

i like vcom more but a few things have made me seriously consider duqcom:

i don't like how vcom does not have many local rotations but duqcom does, i rly don't want to be movign around a lot in 3rd and 4th year, i am planning on gettign married soon and don;t want to make my husband move with me for med school just for me to not be there in 3rd adn 4th year?

i also heard that if you fail a class at vcom you are removed from the program and that's scaring me LOL

i don't rly mind the attendance policy or the dress code at vcom - i spoke to many students at the interview day and i don't think i would mind this at all.

Coming from someone who is very familiar with VCOM, you'd have to do a lot more than fail one class to be removed from the program. Many students who fail 3+ classes are allowed to stay or return the following year to try again.
