Mayo Clinic SOM - AZ
Pros
UCLA (Geffen)
Pros
The only real cons are the lack of MS2-4 support (does that even really happen?) at my worry about the new school having growing pains (everyone at Mayo has assured me that it won't be an issue). The other thing to consider is that getting out of medical school without debt would be pretty amazing.
Thoughts?
Pros
- 100% Tuition scholarship
- Mayo name
- Brand new facilities
- Small class
- Like curriculum better
- Much lower cost of living
- Possible growing pains?
- No MS2-4 on site
- Scottsdale isn't nearly as cool as LA
- Summers
- Pioneer class (this has both pros and cons in my opinion)
UCLA (Geffen)
Pros
- It's in SoCal
- Larger school with established support system
- No growing pains
- Large urban area with any type of hospital imaginable
- Walkable neighborhood with lots to do and great weather year round
- Less financial aid available, and much higher cost of living
- Traffic will be an issue during clinical years
- Need to take an additional course prior to matriculation
