Hi all! I am so grateful to have received acceptances from both Case Western and UF, but I would appreciate any advice in choosing between the two! I am very torn in making this decision as both are amazing schools.
Case Western
Pros
Pros
Case Western
Pros
- 2 hour drive away from family
- Top-ranked school (T25)
- Regular weekly schedule, classes done by 12PM each day
- More familiar with Cleveland
- True P/F pre-clinical with no internal rankings
- 71k tuition
- Not sure how to feel about HoloLens anatomy curriculum vs. typical gross anatomy
- Mandatory research thesis in between first and second years (could also be a pro for residency resume, but I am meh about research)
- Essay-based exams
Pros
- 49k tuition, 37k if I reclassify as in-state after the first year
- Well-ranked school (T35)
- Integrated gross anatomy curriculum
- Very far from family, no direct flights to Gainesville
- Less regular weekly schedule (as far as I can tell)
- P/F, but internal rankings and AOA pre-clinical
