Medical School A (starts this year) or Medical School B (APS; starts next year)

I am grateful to have received acceptances to medical school. However, I am deciding which school is better to attend.

Medical School A

• low tuition

• starts this year

• graded

• mandatory lectures

• not the best location

• rural clinical rotation sites

• less dedicated time for board preparation

Medical School B (APS)

• pass/fail
• non-mandatory lectures
• more time to study for boards
• preferred location
• better clinical rotation sites
• high tuition
• requires waiting for one more year
