Hi everyone,
I guess I am fortunate to have this dilemma, but I am nevertheless confused. I have been holding a seat at Hopkins, but I just got off the waitlist at UCLA. I currently reside in Orange County and UCLA is an hour away by car. I was away for undergrad too, so the thought of being close to home is really thrilling. But its complex because I am also really interested in Public Health medicine.
Of course I can still do my MPH at Hopkins, I would still prob do that. But what about all the connections and contacts for residencies? Hopkins does amazingly well in the match, but if I eventually want to settle down in Cali anyways doesnt it make sense to meet people here?
I am really confused, and dont have long to decide, any experience with either of these schools and any advise would be most appreciated.
