St. Georges FOM or SABA ?

I am debating whether to commit to SABA or St. Georges Foundation of Medicine program.

If I choose SABA, I will be starting in January 2009.
St. Georges FOM will start in August 08. Hence, I will be starting officially in Jan 2009 as well pending a 3.2 GPA.


MONEY FACTOR:
Saba is cheaper but without those federal loans it isn't that much cheaper because of higher interest rates. After all, an extra $30G isn't that damaging considering the fact that SG is the most well known.


Class Size:
I do like the fact that Saba has a smaller class size over SG's student class of >200.


Rotations:
St. Georges got that super contract with NY hospitals, I plan to practice in NY after Im done, so that might be the most important factor.


Guys, am I overlooking anything? I would be fine with attending either school but I do prefer the one that fits my best interest. Which program will you select and why?

Thanks for all your inputs.
