During the last application cycle, few candidates had a couple of BSMD choices and they chose BU SMED or some other BSMD. IMO, the driving forces are location, close to family, COA, matriculation conditions, # of years 7 Vs 8, prestige, match list etc. You can’t go wrong with either direction. Good luck.
