I JUST found out I was accepted to Rosalind Franklin. I have already been accepted to Penn State. I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH TO CHOOSE! Neither school is a top choice for me, and both are far from home. Does anybody have an opinion? Does anybody know the strength of the clinical rotations comparatively for these schools?
For Penn State, I really liked the curriculum and focus on the humanities, friendliness of student body (that I saw on second look weekend), but am not sure the diversity of clinical training at the school because of the rural location. Does anybody know more?
At Rosalind Franklin, I like the location and the fact that I would spend two years in Chicago. I did not get a strong sense of the student body (I interviewed late there and have not gone back to visit). HOw big an issue should its probationary status play in my decision? IS it a detriment that there is no affiliated hospital?
People say match lists are no predictor of where a student will match, but like most students at Rosalind Franklin, I am from California and hope to return. Also does anybody know how happy students are at either of these schools? I would like to have a decent quality of life, at least as much as possible, during medical school.
What would you guys do if you were in my shoes????????
