- NY is easier to get to from Boston than from Pittsburgh

- still not in NY
- something felt off to me in terms of how I fit with the school's culture (could have been an isolated interview day experience)
Stony Brook

- in NY
- good research opportunities
- standard medical training with limited mandatory classes
