I was recently accepted off the WL at SUNY Downstate and need help deciding.
Ohio State:
Pros:
-Higher rank/more established school/more funding for research and other things
-Received a half tuition scholarship
-Enjoyed the interview day
Cons:
-Far from home
-Match list is heavy in the Midwest and I would like to match back in NYC
-Quartile ranked (not true P/F)
SUNY Downstate:
Pros:
-Close to home and will allow me to be near my family
-AMAZING match list and very NYC heavy
-Awesome clinical experience
Cons:
-Unranked/less established — normally would not care about this but with the change to p/f step 1, I am a little concerned
-Have not received financial aid yet but I’ve heard that Downstate does not have much money to give
