Where would you go?

I realize this is a personal question, but I am struggling heavily with this decision. I could see myself being happy in each location, even though they are very different (the only thing i do not like about Duke is that you need to drive a car everyday to get to class).

Does anyone know or feel there are differences in the amount of mentoring/support at each of these institutions? I feel like Yale has an edge on this count, and this is an important factor for me.

And then looking forward to residencies, I do not think there is much of a difference in how these schools are regarded by residency directors, so I can't really rank them on that count either.

Does anyone have any input and anything negative about the schools that I may not have heard about at the revisits?

I like Yale for the stress-free system and smaller class size.

I like Duke for its 1 year pre-clinical, which I think is excellent. Also, I like that you can get third year fully funded or a dual degree. Also, a small class of ~100.

I like Penn for its NE location (close to other cool cities) and condensed curriculum. I also think it has other excellent professional schools. However, I dislike it's large class size and higher cost of living.
