Hi everyone,
I am an incoming med student for next year and am really interested in matching ENT or another surgical subspecialty. I have the choice of a top 3 school with 100k of debt or Vanderbilt with no debt at graduation.
I wanted to know how program directors and attendings generally view Vanderbilt med's reputation in terms of feeding to ENT residencies. I am wondering whether it is best for me to save the money and attend Vandy or go into debt for a much higher ranked school? From what I had heard on other threads, anything in the T20 is essentially equivalent for matching and depends much more on Step 1 (of which Vanderbilt has a very high average).
I am very interested in pursuing an academia route, with the ultimate goal of surgical faculty preferably on the west coast, if that makes a difference in the choice.
Thank you all!
