Post-interview UCSF responses

Lady--
I actually still haven't completely settled on UCSF over the JMP, but I am leaning towards UCSF for a few reasons:

1. The JMP is very heavily geared towards primary care. It's quite probable that I may end up in a primary care field, but I don't want to limit my options just yet.

2. I am slightly nervous about such a small class size. I actually love the idea of such a tight knit group of students & faculty, BUT there's always the potential for a totally incompatible group like the one they had a few years back.

3. I'm also a bit nervous about the new curriculum. I THINK that 100% PBL would be perfect for me, but I really can't be sure having never been in that atmosphere. Also, the idea of being a guinea pig is a bit worrisome.

PM me with your thoughts! Congratulations on getting in to the JMP!

Hey Wahoo--I just PM-ed you.
Both Becky and Wahoo--wonderful observations! I had somewhat different reservations about JMP. Actually, I thought that the class size was great, since you get to know professors really well, and become (possibly) lifelong friends with your classmates. But, I see your point now.
Also, I am concerned about lack of clinical campus in vicinity. I saw a girl (MS1) at Stanford assist in surgery (!!!!!!!!) on the level of an intern, and, not that I want to get my hands dirty the first day, but I would like to watch and shadow a lot of different doctors to get an idea what i like early. I feel like being at Berkeley would limit this opportunity.
