Hi! My 2 options are Cooper Medical School at Rowan in Camden or PCOM. Some of my thoughts:
-MD vs DO: I want to go into psychiatry (pref academic) or perhaps a peds specialty so not sure if this would matter?
- Cost: Cooper is roughly $10,000 more per year
-class size: Cooper is smaller - less than 100 students vs over 200. This has pros and cons - I am a nontrad, so I have some fears the smaller class I won't have any peers my age
- location: Camden has a pretty rough reputation, which as a petite female makes me nervous. However, the mission of the school is pretty cool.
- curriculum: at Cooper it's less lecture based, while PCOM is more traditional.
Any thoughts?
