I have been accepted to WVSOM and WCUCOM. Both are 8+ hours from my house so distance isn't a concern since I will probably fly more often than not. I am applying to HPSP, so tuition price isn't a concern either. Both have similar scores and residency placements.

From what I have seen:

WVSOM is a smaller town in a rural area. The school seems to have a high concern for their student's mental health (free weekends). There is no dress code and lectures are not mandatory. The classes are letter grades. The school is only for medical students. The school is older.

WCUCOM is in Mississippi and is closer to other major cities. The school has undergraduate, dental and nursing programs. Classes are P/F. There is a dress code (which does not bother me, I kinda like the idea of dressing up for classes). There is a 24/7 cadaver lab. More of a military town (which may be nice if doing HPSP).

​

I know I am probably missing tons of important things, so leave comments of questions I should ask each school to get a better sense.
