I need some help! I'm looking at applying this summer to med. schools in Chicago. I've done plenty of "book research" and internet research on the schools down there. Being from out of state, UIC seems like a stretch to apply to. But if anyone has any experience with Northwestern, Rush, Loyola, Pritzker, or Finch, I would appreciate your impressions of the school. I would esp. like comments about if a school truly seems to care about its students (very important!), has good faculty, and emphasizes clinical medicine (not really into research)! Any comments are welcome. Thanks all.

I know some people at Loyola and they're very pleased with the faculty. The school also has a great reputation.

Of course, U of Chicago is a superb school and anyone would be lucky to gain admission since it's so competitive. But I don't know anyone that goes there. Sorry.

If you want friendly supportive faculty combined with an emphasis on clinical and not on research, then your best bets are Loyola and Rush. U of C and Northwestern place more emphasis on research. You may want to consider Finch, although I don't know much about it.

I would recommend doing a search on the schools names and "IL". You'll get plenty of info from that.
