I'm in a tough predicament. I loved each of these schools, and found that they're each rather different (except for their price tags). UoP keeps me closer to home, but I'm definitely not opposed to leaving! What do you guys think? I'm leaning toward wanting to specialize in either peds or ortho right now. Thanks! 🙂

All 3 are great schools. UOP has the best reputation among the 3 and may help if you want to specialize. Also, if you want to practice in CA, a west coast school would help you prepare more towards the CA board. Costs are high for all 3 schools, and you obviously would be done in 3yrs at UOP.

For location I would go: UOP > ASDOH > Western
For weather I would go: Western > UOP > ASDOH
For school's mission I would go: ASDOH > UOP = Western
 
I would definitely go UoP. I know they are all expensive and within a reasonable amount of each other, so to be done a year earlier would be huge. Plus they have the name.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the schools, but UoP would be my pick.

UOP definitely. I don't know much about ASDOH but UOP has been around for a really long time, has a great reputation, is a 3 year program and SF is beautiful city.
