NYMC vs. Temple

[proby20401]

Temple
Pros

• My heart is drawn toward, great staff, and by far the best interview day experience
• Seems to have robust research, great community and students
• Urban setting is a pro in my book

Cons

• Seems to be in a relatively bad part of Philly, away from Family on Long Island
• Seems to match slightly less well to NYC residencies

NYMC
Pros

• Solid NYC matches in competitive residencies
• Safe in suburbia
• Close to family

Cons

• Don't wanna live in bum**** nowhere
• people seem stressed out and I didn't really like the vibes on MMI interview day

Summary: Both seem relatively similar, for me the goal is NYC residency in Ortho or Gen Surg, so looking for advice on where to go.

Go to what ever one is cheaper

 

[proby20401]

roughly the same cost of attendance like 97k vs. 100k

Probably Temple-- I've heard students usually live in Center City and you prioritize an urban campus anyway. Go where you think you'll be happier as a person !

i'm on the LKSOM waitlist but it sounds like you like Temple more (the vibes, the city) so you should go for it.
