Comparable residency match list and clinical training, definitely having a hard time deciding between the two. What other factors should I look into? Which one would you choose?
DOWNSTATE
- NYC (I did my undergrad in NYC, so this place feels like home)
- CHEAPER
- Continue working with my existing mentors
- Possibly easier to get do sub-i at NYC institution
- Love the new curriculum with 1.5 pre-clinical year
JEFFERSON
- Philly (about 45 min driving from my house)
- Pricey (but I may qualify for a good amount of aid as I'm originally from DE, and Jeff is technically DE's "state school")
- Have to find new mentors, but Jeff seems to have better research opportunities than Downstate (as per NIH funding)
- Most people match in ?suburban PA
- Block schedule, traditional sched, tests are 90% on Fridays
