How are those of you with multiple acceptances sorting through and deciding which school is the best for you and what you want to accomplish in your career?

and curriculum, student happiness, tuition costs, cost of housing, affiliated hospitals for rotations, and not least of all - "gut feeling"... There are a number of factors that I and many others will have to consider.

The gut feeling is really your best bet. If you really cant picture yourself at the school, or weren't excited when you got the acceptance its not the school for you. If your going to be miserable at a top school whats the point in going. You could do a lot better by going somewhere you are happy and working hard. In the end i decided i wanted to stay close to myfamily and friends. I haven't regretted it since.

I'm deciding on how fast the schools contacted me, the Quickness. How they sounded in the email or letter, the Delivery, and how Original the letter was. Lastly, I'm looking for that STING!... wait, what are we talking about again?
