WashU
Pros
Pros
Summary: I am interested in creating startups/entrepreneurial endeavors while in medical school (along with consulting). Northwestern has the network that is Chicago, but WashU has more of that in its curriculum. I am definitely a niche case and most have told me that WashU is a better school overall, but I feel like not being in Chicago could be a detriment in the future.
Pros
- Full Tuition
- Great hospital system
- Mobile health research
- Innovation track
- Sling Health/Dedicated incubators/accelerators
- Consulting isn't as large as it could be in Chicago
- The curriculum seems a little less flexible compared to FSM, but still need to have a deeper conversation with current students.
Pros
- Chicago is a great city for networking
- 75% Tuition Scholarship
- The curriculum appears to offer more free time
- One of the top mobile health researchers in the country is there
- Costs would put me $100K more in debt.
- AOSC seems kind of forced, which is okay since I will do research but kind of just is "meh."
