Hello!
I'd love to receive feedback about what people's thoughts are about going to Howard vs. VCOM for school. I'm in the midst of having to make a final decision soon but don't really have a clear direction. I'm from the DC area, which would make Howard certainly easier to transition, but my impression from the interview was a bit tainted. The staff didn't seem very friendly or organized compared to the VCOM staff and VCOM's facility was more up-to-date. I'm on the fence between MD/DO as well since OMM sounds really interesting but based on my research it seems DOs can have a harder time getting into competitive residency positions. I've heard mixed reviews about the education at Howard and although the interview info from VCOM sounds nice, its still a relatively new school. Could people let me know their thoughts on the schools specifically as well as the differences of DO/MDs in the real world for someone who isn't interested in general practice (thus a speciality). Thanks!
