It might be helpful if you listed schools so that people could respond to your list.

I go to Tufts so I might be able to help you out a bit. The advantages of going here are friendly students who are really happy to be here, great faculty (haven't met most yet but rumored to be v. good), don't take anatomy until second semester (some might see this as a disadvantage), and lots of neat combined degree programs (MD/MPH, MD/MALD, MD/MBA). Tufts also is ranked in the Top 50 and is well-respected by residency directors, and has a wide range of affiliated hospitals. The disadvantages of going here are the cost (2nd most expensive school in the country) and the high cost of living in Boston. Let me know if you have any more questions!
