Hey guys, I'm really fortunate to have been accepted to the great programs listed above. However, with choices comes indecision, and I'm looking for some help narrowing down the seats I'm currently holding. I want to be fair to everyone waiting. Maybe if I can continue holding two of the four as I wait to hear from others? I had a great time visiting each of the four schools listed, and as a fairly adaptable person believe that I'd be happy at any of them. However, I'd love to hear other opinions.
A little about me: Non-traditional (4 years out) doing psychiatry research in Boston, and want to continue research in school/am interested in academic medicine. I'd like access to diverse, underserved patient populations, for instance the homeless. Open-minded re: specialty, but leaning towards primary care or brain (i.e., psych, neuro, neuro-onc). From the northeast, and family and friends are concentrated in MA. I'm very sociable and like small groups and the idea of PBL.
Briefly about the 4 schools. Emory: love the research, like the curriculum, like Atlanta and Grady, like the vibe; distance from home a drawback. BU: good research, stay in Boston, really interesting hospitals and patients; don't love the more traditional curriculum. Case: Love the curriculum, research, small groups, Cleveland is actually nice but far from home. Rochester: Same as Case, plus better PBL, plus biopsychosocial approach, worst location.
Thanks!
