Hello Everyone,
I would really appreciate some thoughts on pros and cons of either school. I really enjoyed my interview day at WMed and I really appreciate the small class size. I also think as part of the inaugural class we will all receive individual attention, which is really good. Thus far, they have also been very nice and responsive. However, it is a new school so I know there is some caution to be taken. And, of course, there is the private loans situation.
On the other hand, the U of MN is a really good and well established school. My only problem with them is they do not seem to give very much attention to their students. I have a feeling I will simply be a number lost in the school. I did not really enjoy my interview day especially because I did not feel they gave very much information about the program. Lastly, I have a hard time getting a hold of them; they are not very responsive to emails and do not seem to answer the phone. I am worried about what this may be foreshadowing.
My main concern is going to WMed and regretting it because I end up having trouble getting into any residency program I want to attend. I just do not know how much of a disadvantage it is to go to a new school. I know the U of MN name will assist in getting into competitive programs.
Thank you for all your help!
