My husband and I are trying to attend law and medical school at the same time. These are our options to do so. As of now, I really don’t want to pursue a competitive speciality. We plan to have children. I guess I’d say I’m most interested in IM. I know some people are unhappy with the PCOM...

Hey guys the title says it all. I’m looking for an opinion about PCOM-South GA. I’ve been accepted there and waitlisted a couple places. I chose PCOM South Georgia even though it’s a new program because of its affiliation with PCOM and the numerous opportunities available as the first class...

I have already been accepted to PCOM (Philly campus) but was offered an II to CCOM. How do the clinical rotations of these two schools compare? Is there any significant reason why CCOM would be much better to warrant paying almost 20k more a year in tuition? Also which school would potentially...

So I've been accepted to both PCOM and VCOM and I'm having a difficult time choosing one. The deposit is due mid December and VCOM's deposit is pretty hefty so I would prefer to only put a deposit down for one. I really enjoyed both schools and both are close to family (divorced parents). Any...
