Appreciate if you could give me some pros and cons of Pitt vs OSU. This is what I think in terms of positives (or negatives of the other).
Pitt:
Higher rank.
bf would chose Pitt (or CMU) for his PhD, but not OSU.
Liked it when I interviewed there. (Did not attend 2nd look)
OSU
Like the setting compared to urban setting at Pitt.
Cheaper rent.
Attended 2nd look and felt at home. Liked the atmosphere, other fellow students etc.
1 hr closer to home than Pitt
Will be in-state after 1st yr. Tution is perhaps 60k cheaper. (assuming no scholarship from Pitt).
Get to interact with patients earlier.
Perhaps above reasons sound lame. But, appreciate if you could give me some other reasons for both schools. Thanks!
