Case Western PPSP vs UAB EMSAP vs Penn State/Jefferson vs RPI/Alabany

Case Western PPSP: 30 k scholarship/year only for undergad, 8 years
UAB EMSAP: full ride undergrad, can apply out, 8 years
Penn State/Jefferson: no scholarship, but 7 years
RPI/Albany physician-scientist: full ride undergrad, 7 years

Undergrad:
Rice: 20 k scholarship/year
Emory/Tulane/URoch: 30 k scholarship/year

I am a Louisiana resident, but living close to home is not a big priority. Some of the factors I’m considering are quality of the undergrad and med school, stress level, flexibility, etc. One concern is that I might be limiting myself by choosing a BS/MD program rather than applying to med school through undergrad.

My main goal is to get into a competitive specialty and maybe do something in public health later on.

Curious to know about your decision on these wonderful choices. Any one will be great anyway :slight_smile:
