Hi SDN Community,
I was hoping to solicit some advice in choosing between Tulane or UVM. I'm OOS at UVM so the cost difference between the two schools would be relatively small (UVM has a slight edge). Here is what I have so far, and you'll see that my observations are very subjective but ultimately I am looking for a school that prepares me well, where people are happy and the environment is supportive. I could change my mind, but for now I see myself going into Emergency Medicine.
Tulane:
-NOLA is awesome and something very different for me (as a New Englander). I loved my visit, and think experiencing a new part of the US would be awesome and an opportunity I shouldn't relinquish without a fight
-Extremely happy students from what I could tell
-Possible MD/MPH provided I want to shell out another 30 grand or so
-No family within 15 hours any direction
-P/F grading
Vermont:
-I love Burlington, and have a long history with Vermont
-Family near by (and having been out of the country for a long time, I've realized how much I appreciate having my family around)
-Love New England, the long winters and all
-The school is gorgeous, and the Vermont community/culture is very familiar to me, and I know I'd like it
-H/P/F grading
Any suggestions of what to consider in making this decision would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
