Incoming M1 trying to decide between schools - no home program vs home program
Hello,
I am an incoming M1 with an inkling that I might want to pursue derm. I was recently accepted off of a WL to a school that has a home program, and now I have to decide between a school with no home program (to which I received a scholarship) and the other school.
I like the school without a home program more for several reasons in addition to the scholarship (quality of life, curriculum, geographic location), but I have heard that it is an uphill battle starting day 1 with no derm home program. The school has a derm dept and home hospital (we're not just rotating thru various community hospitals/sites), so I'm not sure if that makes any difference. The new loan caps are a major consideration for me, but I don't want to disadvantage myself too much right out of the gate.
I would love any advice on this, as I have limited time to make a decision! TYIA!
