Wayne State
Pros
Jefferson
Pros
Summary: It seems like it is coming down to the ranking/opportunities/residency placement at Jefferson vs. the cost of Wayne.
Pros
- Closer to family and friends
- Cost ($140,000k for tuition after 4 years)
- Less expensive cost of living
- Lower-ranking
- Issues with affiliated hospitals
- Poor communication from the administration with students
- Unsure of name recognition outside of Michigan/midwest if I want to go elsewhere for residency
Jefferson
Pros
- I enjoyed the interview day and everyone I spoke with more even though it was virtual
- Great home residency for ortho
- I am really interested in ortho, and if not ortho likely another competitive specialty. Jefferson seems better for that, but I'm not sure by how much.
- Everyone seems really happy at Jefferson
- More research opportunities (?)
- Money (240k tuition after four years, unknown financial aid)
- Farther from home and SO
