I'm trying to decide between Pitt, UCSD, and UCLA (pending getting off the waitlist). Anyone have any opinions? I have a few pros and cons bouncing around my head, which are:
Pitt:
+strong surgery department (how are UCSD's and UCLA's?)
+low cost of living
-Pittsburgh (just my opinion/impression)
-weather
UCSD
+great location
+lecture based (I love lecture lol)
+strong research (although honestly there's strong research at all 3 schools)
-5 weeks to study for boards
UCLA
+weather
+systems based
-smog/traffic
-cost of living
I'm leaning towards a Cali school just because of weather, but I don't want to be regretting my decision of turning down a school known for its surgery department (I'm not SURE i want to do surgery, but its an interest).
Thanks for any input!
