For those of you who have had multiple interviews already and expect multiple acceptances on December 1st, you will have a tough decision to make. Some of the following are what I will use to help guide my final decision: (overall cost, location, residency options, curriculum, patient pool, cost-of-living) What factors (especially those I may have forgotten!) will be important in helping you choose which school to ultimately attend?

For me, costs play a significant role especially since we invited a socialistic man in office.

Good to see the socialist dystopian future fantasies have already begun. Reminds me of all the liberals planning on "moving to Canada" after Bush was elected the second time.

With 5 interviews and 3 rejections we are worried about "multiple acceptances"?

2~3 acceptances are still considered multiple. 😉

Without a bird in hand the question of "multiple (2~3) acceptances" is what dreams are made of. But with a four leaf clover in hand maybe it is time to buy a mega lottery ticket.

My intent with this thread was not to be presumptuous. I wanted to see what factors were important when comparing schools so I could be prepared in case I am blessed with 2 or more acceptances. Not much else to do when waiting for 12/1 to roll around...

You and us are in good process.

Actually, prompt decision will make many people happy. (You, Other pre-dents, and School)

At this point, you may have idea of which school u will immediately make a deposit, if accepted.

Anyway, I still can't judge it from each school's location. I need more investigation on this! Actually, I am researching on this matter every day.

What about being close to your family or significant other?

That is supposed to be very important for me!
