Mount Sinai

I'm just wondering if anyone who has experience with these programs can give me some feed back on them, as I'm debating wheather to turn in their secondaries.

Both are good. Very different types of location, with Mt. Sinai being very urban (Manhattan) and UVa being pretty remote. My roommate almost went to UVa before choosing Penn so I could tell you more from his perspective if you'd like. They're both decent programs, with good reputations and strengths and weaknesses depending on your interests.

I have a friend who is a second year MSTP at UVa, and he loves it. It was his first choice while he was applying. They have a decent-sized program and the med school has a good rep. If you have specific questions about their program, I can run them by him. The MSTP office also seems to be good at answering email questions pretty quicky. As Neuronix mentioned, location is always an important consideration - what kind of area would you prefer to live in?
