Creighton

Pros
-Quizzes/exams on Fridays
-Seemed more collaborative than Cincinnati on interview day
-Closer to home (but still far)

Cons
-More expensive (~30k more per year if I don't get any scholarships, which I won't know by the time I have to make a decision)
-Cannot seem to find out Creighton's ranking; assuming Cincinnati is higher ranked, though, simply based on the amount of research money Cincinnati brings in



Cincinnati

Pros
-Cheaper
-Visited during Second Look a couple months ago and really loved the campus and meeting the faculty
-More/better opportunities for research

Cons
-Not true P/F; ranking system--students at Second Look acknowledged this makes the environment competitive at times and not as collaborative as they'd like
-Quizzes/exams always on Mondays (sometimes every monday and, at other times, biweekly); seems easy to burnout
-Farther from home



Note: curriculum at both schools seem comparable. Both do organ block style instruction and stream their lectures so that attendance does not have to be mandatory. Both tend to have exams/quizzes once every couple of weeks.
 
Yeah Cincy is the pretty obvious choice to me unless you have some ties to Omaha or NE. Cincy has an amazing hospital associated with it with all home programs, while Creighton lacks quite a few
