Georgetown vs Vanderbilt

I'd choose Vandy over Georgetown & Georgetown over UChicago.

$0.02

 

What is the cost differential between Vandy and GU? If it is significant, like say 5-10k yearly, take the cheaper route. Each school will give you a solid education.

In the end of it, choosing a less expensive route will do you just fine. Remember, no one in the residency boards cares WHO you took Biochem and Path from. They look at that 3 digit score on te USMLE 1 and make a determination.

I know someone from a very dissed med school. She scored 99th percentile. Its all about you. Not the school.

 

I hated Georgetown, so I guess I am kind of biased. I found Ms. Sullivan's talk mildly offensive, and the students I met altogether uninteresting. While the hospital system seems pretty good, I was not the least bit impressed with their facilities, etc.

That being said, I think you would be nuts to go there over either Vandy or UC.

Cheers!

i lived in the georgetown section of dc for 2 yrs and the city itself is really fun. if you can afford it that is....

 

yup. you'd be crazy to turn down either of those for gtown. definitely a "B" school. DC is an awesome town, but so is nashville and so is chicago. you might need to get a new coat if you go to chi-town, but you'll be such a sweet doctor if you go to either place, compared to a variable experience at georgetown.
