Anyone deciding between here and Upstate? Which way are you leaning and why?

As a Buffalo native, I can say with conviction that Buffalo is orders of magnitude a more fun/enjoyable city than Syracuse.

The wait is killing me, quite literally. Losing sleep over this unranked WL

Oh, yeah i know. I just wish that UB would let us know our ranking or have a priority WL like I believe they had implemented in the past

I am also a buffalo native and while I agree that the city of Buffalo is a fun place to be, I think that the current curriculum of UB's med school with their pseudo-letter grading is a deterrent for me (although I have heard this is in the process of being reformed). I am torn between these two schools as they're very similar but I think either option will result in us becoming successful Physicians. A definite pro for Upstate is their curriculum design (modules) feels more natural to me, yet a HUGE pro for UB is their new medical campus that has been stated to open our second semester as M1's. It is by no means an easy decision to make but both medical schools are very good.

I originally was put off by UB's pseudo-letter grading as well, but am actually feeling ok about it since classes are not curved, which I think prevents the hyper-competitive environment that I was worried about.
