WVSOM vs SHSUCOM

[bigdrago]

I have been committed to WVSOM for a while now but recently got off of the waitlist for SHSUCOM (OOS). I am not sure which one to pick because WVSOM has been far more established and reputable but SHSUCOM is new and is having success in atleast what I have seen while also being far cheaper (money shouldnt be too bad regardless of school). I wanted to hear other's perspectives as well to see if there were pros or cons to each and ur opinions! tyty!

Calculate COA. Tuition itself is useless if its way more expensive to live.

When I checked online it said that SHSU would be around 78-80k and WVSOM would be around 96k

Sounds good. If I remember right, WVSOM did offer an instate tuition that was really cheap. Is there a way to establish WV residency while in medical school? Perhaps after 1-2 years? If that’s the case then it could also be cheaper. Above all, go for the cheaper option. Especially with this state of chaos surrounding student loans
