You should just get the MSAR, it's really good for that kind of stuff. I'll probably put up a list when I get home from work, cause I'm interested in the same stuff. Some schools I can think of off the top of my head:

NYC:
Mount Sinai, NYU, Cornell, Columbia, AE

Miami:
U Miami

Baltimore:
JHU

Boston:
Harvard, BU, Tufts

Philadelphia:
Jefferson, Drexel

Pittsburg:
UPitt

I don't know if I'd call Atlanta a big city. Metro of about 4 mil and city about 430,000 doesn't even make it a top 10 metro or top 20 urban area.

If you want big city, there are only a few options: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles. Everything else is a whole other tier in terms of density, population, etc.

Dallas:

UTSW
TCOM (DO school in Ft. Worth)

San Antonio:

UTSA

i'm just stunned that "baltimore" is considered a "big city"

Granted Atlanta may not be New York, it's still a city with a lot going on. It's definitely the largest and most cultural place in the southeast.

So, Don't forget Emory in Atlanta! It's a great school with lots of opportunities...

Finch, or Rosalind Franklin as it is called now is actually not in Chicago. It is in a town called North Chicago that is actually something like an hour north of the actual city. Rotations are done in Chicago though.

....but Emory is in the 'burbs of the most suburban metro in America (9 out of 10 people that live in Atlanta literally don't live in the city, which is way way above average). Nothing against Atlanta but let's be realistic here. The OP wants to be in a big city, and I'm sure he/she wants an urban experience. Emory is anything but. Many of the streets around Emory do not even have street lights. It's a great and beautiful place to go, but let's be real.

Loyola is not in Chicago either -- it's in Maywood.

 

[Bones2008]

Loyola is not in Chicago either -- it's in Maywood.

Heh. Maywood and North Chicago are......different, to say the least. Maywood may not have skyscrapers (at least not officially), but Loyola's hospital has to deal a lot with the "negative facets" of urban living (gangs, etc.). North Chicago is, well, a bit more to the north (and, as a result, not anywhere close to urban).

Chicago, how I miss you...

How can you consider Los Angeles a big city if Atlanta isn't? LA is just a more massive sprawl than Atlanta.

You know, if you get in your car and drive in any direction--actually leaving your city behind--you might get lucky and run into a city smaller than Atlanta.

If you're talking pedestrian-type cities, sure. But that's what I love about Atlanta: it's actually green and covered with trees.

Whatever.

 

[mooklyster]

To the OP...What are you...******ed? If you cannot even handle this, how are you going to handle the work of medical school.

How can you consider Los Angeles a big city if Atlanta isn't? LA is just a more massive sprawl than Atlanta.

Why get all defensive about it? You don't see people from Detroit trying to compare themselves to LA... why should a much smaller metro/city like Atlanta be any different? LA's metro is over 4 times larger than Atlanta. You said it yourself... more massive sprawl. 4 times more people means it is 400% larger, 12.5 million MORE people to be exact, which anyone would say would qualify it for being "a lot larger" than Atlanta. Now this is getting ridiculous. No one would ever argue Atlanta is nearly as big or developed as LA---heck there are many major thoroughfares in Atlanta, like I-285 and GA 400, that don't even have street lights on them, almost none of the power lines are buried, and only 10% of Atlanta's metro population live in an urbanized area. You insinuated it yourself--it's like living in the woods, and that actually is Atlanta's appeal and why it's suburbs are growing so fast. In LA it's more like 25% in an urbanized area--more than double. LA is WAY more developed/urban than Atlanta.

And this is nothing against Atlanta, either, it's just reality. I personally would rather live in Atlanta over LA any day of the week.
