I'm deciding between BU and MGHIHP. Does anyone have any advice or thoughts concerning either school. Pretend that money isn't a factor, as I want to choose based on the program

Have you visited both schools?? Where did you feel like you fit in the best?

I visited both recently and liked both. BU students seemed more laid back and close knit. MGH had a more professional vibe and their class was bigger BU has a great fitness center and tons of libraries, but MGH doesn't have much of a campus. But I really liked the paid internship MGH offers and the people I have talked to love it. BU does gross anatomy in 4 weeks with prosected cadavers which I don't really like.

I'm just not sure which one is the best for me!

MGH does prosection as well for gross anatomy at Harvard Medical School but I'm not sure if they do it in a 4 week span.

I'm waitlisted at MGH right now...are you in the first round of acceptances or did they send out another round already?

Actually we do the full dissection at MGH, the only things prosected were a few brains. Otherwise be ready to get your hands dirty! Anatomy is taken during the first summer and I think it was about 8 weeks long, I don't remember exactly. Last year week started the first week of June.
