After almost 3 years of applying, I finally got the A!!!!

I am so fortunate to have received two acceptances and need help making a decision. One to Meritus School of Osteopathic Medicine and the other from Rowan Virtua SOM - need to make a decision ASAP.

Some key things

- MSOM is 40k cheaper per year for me and I would graduate debt free from here due to help from parents

- both are same distance from my family

- I'm pretty set on Ortho and want to grind research wherever I can

- Philadelphia area vs. Hagerstown

- MSOM newer vs Rowan more established with previous students matching Ortho

I am so grateful to be in this position to have to make this decision, but at the same time pretty torn. Would love insight from anyone
