Members don't see this ad.

So I am highly torn and anxious about deciding between these two schools.

UMMSM@FAU is in Boca. It is PBL based. Clinical exposure is more community than urban based. Students were happy. Class size is small. The facilities are new. The faculty seemed really involved and happy.

VCU is in Richmond. Traditional lecture based. Good reputation in the area. Larger program (194) but a larger hospital system that is located near the school.

The bolded aspect is my primary issue that has me leaning towards VCU. I would preffer U of Miami's main campus I just dont' have that option yet.

not really my brother lives in Boca and del ray beach is about 25 minutes away. I still would choose miami in a HEART BEAT. I think the school overall is incredible. I would check out thier match list as I believe they just graduated thier first class. but yeah the staff and students are so involved in medicine and they all study together in the nerderies. I would go there in a second plus IMO reputation is way better. But all in all I would still go were it is cheaper and where you feel youll suceed oh and btw did I say cheaper?

VCU, or those true to the medical institution still call it, MCV>Medical College of Virginia. Great school rep., great city with a lot of history and it's own chic element.

 

[drizzt3117]

So unless I get into Pitt too, it looks like I'm going to Miami.


HOLY CRAP.
