Central Michigan M.D. versus Midwestern D.O.

[zamba]

Hi SDN people,

Thank you for continued support in this forum. I have been accepted to an MD and a DO school. The MD school is CMED (Central Michigan University) and the D.O. school is Midwestern in Illinois. There are pros and cons to both schools and I have made my lists, but I was just wondering if anyone can chime in with some advice between picking an MD or DO school.

Thank you!

Probably should move to Help Me Decide: X vs Y Medical School

Having the MD opens more doors to you.

CCOM's tuition is obscenely high.

Grads from both schools predominantly stay in the midwest and go into Primary Care

I can't find the match list for CCOM, so I can directly compare the two.

Thank you @Goro . Central Michigan out of state tuition is pretty expensive, too. I don't have family in either state, so I am flexible.

OK, what do you like more? Mackinac Island fudge or that casserole they call Chicago pizza?

Living in Chicago would probably be better for me since I have been here for so long, but I would live anywhere to go to medical school and if MD opens more doors than DO, then that would be the logical choice.
