Everyone has an opinion in regards to CC, MGH, USCF, Duke, etc., but what about the following?

Boston University
Ohio State
Pittsburgh
Vanderbilt

Thanks for any insight.
 
Vanderbilt -

Strengths: Lots of research funding, particularly in stem cells and in interventional; Collegial environment;

Weaknesses: EP is not as strong as the other areas, but is developing.

Pittsburgh -

Pros: Strong EP, lots of clinical research going on; Good rep in the academic world. Not sure about the cons;

Don't know much about BU & Ohio state;

In terms of academic rep I would guess Pittsburgh >= Vanderbilt > BU > Ohio;
