Hi everyone,
I'm really sorry for posting this on here, but I wanted to crowd-source this question because I don't have anyone else to talk to regarding medical school.
I am deciding between BU and UMass for medical school. I'm a MA resident, hoping to practice in MA (and maybe do residency in Boston). My factors for deciding right now are, in order:
1. how well each school prepares you for Step 1
2. availability of research
3. cost
There's some weird factors also. My dad works at BMC so I get small perks like parking for free. Umass will be 88k cheaper (22k*4 years - just tuition/fees) because I have enough saved to cover any difference in cost of living.
That's all the huge points I can think of. If there's anything factors that people normally wouldn't think of, please let me know. Thank you in advance
