ROL ADVICE

[psych_psych_psych]

Hello,
I'm looking for rank order list advice. My current list is this:

1) Yale, Stanford, UPMC: Top programs- locations vary.
2) Colorado, Austin: Good program with solid training
3) Vermont, Maine: More community feel, but nice outdoorsy area

Career goals are to be quasi academic with leadership position in systems initiative or leadership position in a start-up related to psychiatry.

Those are pretty different goals. If you're looking to do startup work there's no way to rank anything other than Stanford one. If you're looking to do leadership and systems work then UPMC and Yale would definitely come before Stanford. If you don't have a strong opinion either way, I would rank the Yale & UPMC above Stanford as they are definitely overall stronger programs.

I think the categories look good. I’d rank the categories based on where you could see yourself living after and ability to moonlight.

List looks good. I'd put Austin over Colorado based on moonlighting ability, work life balance.

How did you end up ranking? I'm curious about UPMC vs Stanford/Harvard programs. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Yale, Stanford -- Didn't ask for advice on these in another post since I knew where I'd rank them @: the remaining are:
UPMC
Colorado
Dell
Maine
Vermont
