<p>im deciding between a 6 and 8 year program as well. PSU jefferson and then REMS at Rochester and PPSP at Case.
I think one of my main factors is what I’m going to do with my time in those four years that I won’t get to do in two years at PSU. I’m big into volunteering/research, and if that’s something you’re intrested in, the 6 year program may not let you get to experience that to the fullest. Plus, at an 8 year program you are free to major in whatever you like without the constraints of finishing up pre-med requirements.
Also, once you hit medschool/residency wherever you go, free time is pretty much nonexistent, so those two extra years may be good for your sanity as well.</p>
