Hi Everyone!
First off thanks so much for your input. Second, I'm so freaking happy I can say any of this . I’ve narrowed down my school options to these three.
Some things about me: I’m not sure about any one particular field but I want to keep my options open and am hopeful to teach and enter academic medicine. I also would like to be somewhere where I will have the time to do extracurriculars and research. I'd like to end up in NYC for residency.
