i've been thinking about this decision for 2 months and with less that 1 week to go, i need the help of SDN. Here's the dillema:
pitt is unquestionably excellend in so many ways but during 2nd look weekend, i just didn't get a great vibe. i felt the students were clicky and i even felt uncomfortable with the exclusivity of minority students (SNMA) even though i am a minority.
dartmouth is beautiful in so many ways (beautiful NH, beautiful new hospital, and beautiful community of students). but hanover is so small. 6 months of winter. cabin fever, anyone? and an entirely homogeneous patient population (white).
davis, well, i got a great vibe. best vibe of all, probably. great new education building, great student clinics. but the match list doesn't compare (so many matches into kaiser hospitals) and sacramento, well, isn't all that cool (though close to SF and tahoe).
bottom line question: am I banking too much on the vibe i got after a couple of days on campus during 2nd look weekends and interviews? my mind says pitt, my heart says davis, dartmouth is half way in between. any recommendations? thanks for all the help!
