School 1: Rutgers (OOS for the 1st semester, and then 2nd semester I'll be IS (just moved to NJ!)
Pros:
Pros:
Pros:
- Love the clinical experiences and the clinical strength
- much more social support (living with boyfriend, friends my age in the area)
- cheaper rent
- area wise there's more to explore
- nice and updated facilities
- I'm 50/50 on wanting to specialize or not, so this might not be as strong for specializing compared to Pitt? but still have good match rates.
- considered OOS for the first semester, so extra tuition just for the fall but will transition to IS in the spring
Pros:
- got a $15k/year scholarship, so the cost of attendance/living is $15k cheaper than if i were to go to Rutgers
- great family energy between the students
- I've been in Pittsburgh for so long (6 years) and I want a change -- pretty isolated from other cities too
- no social support -- came out of school from the area but everyone i know in Pittsburgh now is younger than me
