Hi all- looking for some input in deciding between these schools.
-non-trad living in Chicago with my girlfriend (serious)
-Interested in surgical specialties
My decision has come down to proximity to my s/o, family, and friends vs. school reputation/match potential. Let me know what you think...any input is greatly appreciated!
Case Western
+better national reputation/rank
+great hospitals (Cleveland Clinic)
+great match list for competitive specialties
-expensive as heck $$$
-5 hours away from s/o in Chicago and 7 hours from family
Medical College of WI
+good surrounding hospitals (Froedert/Children’s)
+1 hour from s/o and family
+slightly cheaper $$
-less national recognition/unranked
-may be less competitive for surgical residencies
