A Bird In The Hand

Sweet! Already one of my "new year's resolutions" is accomplished. 

 

2. Get into med school!

I see this journey to medical school as a joint journey, so it's one of my resolutions as well. 

Wahoo! Chris was officially accepted to Penn State Medical School in Hershey, Pennsylvania! It feels good to see a clear future in front of us. No matter what happens with other medical schools, we know that we have a great school "in the hand."

But that doesn't free us of choices. What happens if we also get accepted to the University of Utah? Does the cost of tuition outweigh the prestige of the school? Should we stay in Utah or experience the East coast? Do we stay in Utah for medical school or come back for residency?

What do you think? What are the pros and cons of living out of state?
