I really could use input. I'm currently at a crossroads on what acceptance to go with either Arkansas State University in Jonesboro or the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) in Little Rock. 

Anyone willing to share? 

- Clinical Experience:How would you describe your overall clinical experience at your school? Are there sufficient opportunities to for speciality hours? Are you competing with medical students or residents for hours?

-Faculty Support: How accessible and supportive are the faculty. Do they provide adequate guidance and mentorship?

Fidelity Lab:  is the quality of the simulation labs? Are they well-equipped, and do you feel they adequately prepare you for actual patient care scenarios? Availability? 

Independence in Clinicals: How much independence do students have during their clinical placements? Are you allowed to take on responsibilities that enhance your learning? ACT Model or full independence?

Anyone else experience the same thing with acceptance to both?
