Wondering about your thoughts on these two schools.
I am a resident of Illinois, but the tuition ends up being the same since M2 and M3 at U of I costs 76k per year (that's Illinois legislature for you). Anyways, the only thing I care about is how much personal expenses I receive, and both schools are comparable.
It's hard to compare match lists since U of I is spread everywhere (I would graduate from the Rockford campus) and the class sizes are so different. I do know that VCU gets way more early clinical experience and its M1 building isn't composed of just two rooms like the Urbana campus. However, I've heard that the hospitals in Rockford don't have residents so med students get more responsibilities. Then again, the hospital system at VCU is pretty amazing.
If it matters, I have an interest in internal medicine
