I've been lucky enough to be accepted by all four. Long time lurker, first time poster. Finances aren't an issue, I don't qualify for aid and I'll likely be taking out loans from the parents. I grew up in Boston and went to school here, so I'm looking to get out of bean-town for the next few years.
Really like the location of Cornell and Sinai (i.e. NYC) and the students, really liked the curriculum at Penn, blown away by the facilities and opportunities at Stanford (it would probably be my first choice save maybe it's suburban location).
I'm interested in a academic medicine career, have done a ton of research. Also, would like to take a year in the middle of medical school to get another degree or do research abroad (particularly the United Kingdom). Maybe IM/Peds as a residency choice, but that's premature in my mind. Family is on the East Coast and part of me wants to end up here, but another part of me likes the adventure of moving to San Francisco eventually.
Thoughts? Anyone in a similar situation?
