Hi and thanks for reading this! I've narrowed my school list down to 2 great options. Given where I live, scholarships, etc, option 1 will cost around $100k less than option 2. Option 2 is in an amazing environment and has loads of opportunities that will challenge me, option 1 feels all-around boring and comfortable (to be frank) but it is "ranked" slightly higher than option 2.
My issue is that I'm beginning medical school with over 200k of student debt from undergrad and grad work. I really want to go to option 2, but would it be an idiotic financial move? I want to specialize and work in academic medicine.
I'm particularly interested in hearing from those who have begun their careers with substantial debt (which I will have either way--just more of it with option 2). I'd love to hear some feedback from anyone who wants to offer it! Thanks
