Hello,
There's another thread on this, but I'm a different person so wanted to weigh the options differently. I'm in my early 30s and want great clinical training with options for research, though research is not my focus.
Jefferson
Pros:
Einstein

Jefferson
Pros:
Loved Center City in Philly
Large class size = tons of student groups and bigger community
Nice facilities
Focus on clinical training
Rep in surgery and surgical sub-specialties (ortho, ophthalmology, ENT)
H/P/F (not curvedl; like the opportunity to still "stand out" with Honors)
Good research opportunities
Girlfriend more positive about moving to Philly than NYC
Most positive interview and visit experience of all schools
Loved the students I met
Expensive
H/P/F (perhaps a negative)
Less known (no undergrad = no sports teams = less public recognition)
Perhaps less research opportunities
Einstein
Pros
Cheaper (probably because of housing)
Liked most students I met
Clinical and Research reputation
Close to NYC
P/F (not curved)
Variety of clinical training locations
Surrounding area in Bronx nowhere near the awesomeness of Center City, Philly
Less excited students than Jefferson, but still great people!
Girlfriend hesitant about NYC
