Case Western vs Geisel (Dartmouth)

[deleted1154742]

Case:

Pros:

1. Loved the Curriculum, PBL, and IQ group learning
2. More research opportunities
3. Located in an urban area
4. Better Match list, especially in competitive specialties? (still unsure if this is true)

Cons:

1. Ineligible for financial aid (this could possibly make it ~80k to 100k more expensive)
2. Have to secure loans myself (possibly private loans)


Geisel Dartmouth:

Pros:

1. Consideration for financial aid (possibly making it ~100k cheaper)
2. Get help securing loans
3. I like outdoor activities so I could see myself loving the hikes/skiing and other outdoorsy activities

Cons:

1. A bit too remote?
2. Away clerkships
3. Not as many research opportunities (compared to Case)
4. Match list? (especially for competitive specialties)

Please let me know what y'all think. Any advice/input is appreciated. Thanks!

Probably want to find out if you'll actually get aid at Dartmouth before making a decision. And are there other schools you're waiting to hear back from?
