I have been trying to decide which school I would like to join in the fall. On interview day, I felt like I could see myself at either school. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, students, and faculty. They are surprisingly similar in many ways: small class sizes (~90) and lots of research opportunities. Obviously, the biggest thing that separates them is rural vs urban. Honestly, I could see myself in both settings. I can lay out some personal pros and cons and I would appreciate any further advice.
Dartmouth:
-Opportunities for engineering medicine research (im a BME)
-Lots of individual attention
-Good residency match (I want to be matched in Boston)
-It's an Ivy (not really important, but cool)
-Not a lot going on in Hanover
UChicago:
-Research Thesis
-Track program
-Lots of individual attention
-Very diverse patient population
-Sketchy neighborhood
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
