Hello everyone,
I am grateful to have two acceptances to MD schools with similar COA and ranking, so I am kind of unsure which one to attend.
Wayne State
Pros
Cons
Seton Hall/Hackensack Meridian
Pros
Cons
I don't have a preference for either area, both programs seem to be ranked similarly, and I have not had any financial aid offer from either school. So I will appreciate any insights.
Thanks much,

Wayne State
Pros
- Established medical school with a good track record and decent match list.
- Detroit has a low cost of living compared with NJ
Cons
- I heard that Detroit is sort of dangerous, but I think it all comes down to common sense (?)
- Issues with administration (?) I have read on this forum that they can be somewhat disorganized.
Seton Hall/Hackensack Meridian
Pros
- Brand new facilities and state-of-the-art campus.
- The faculty was super friendly during our interview.
Cons
- It is a new school, they have not had their first match, except for the internal placement of their 3-year program.
- High COL in the NJ area.
