I am an Ohio resident and I have been fortunate enough to have been accepted into both the university of Cincinnati and the Ohio state university. I am super conflicted about which school is the best fit, and I am looking for any possible input. Here are specific lists as far as what I like/dislike about each school:
Ohio state:
-large, well known program with tons of research $$
-large expansions including a brand new cancer hospital set to open in 2014
- in my hometown of Columbus
- brand new curriculum. I will be in only the second class to have this curriculum, not sure if this is a good or bad thing
-part of the largest undergraduate population in the country
-class size of about 200
- almost 50% of class matches into primary care
Cinci
- smaller school, newer facilities for med student teaching
- similar curriculum to osu (from what I can tell)
- further away from home, but closer to where all of my undergraduate friends will be- more of a social support system from day 1
- though not as large as osu, still offers great research opportunities.
- I get the vibe that cinci is not quite as safe as Columbus
So from these lists I have concluded that there are no glaring differences in these schools. Tuition would be similar at both and both have good average step 1 scores. So far i have concluded I can be successful at either I just have to go with my gut. No idea what my gut is saying though so if anyone has any extra insights to these schools I would really appreciate any help!! Thank you!
