Hey all,
Im one of the lucky ones thats holding onto more than one acceptance and have started to withdraw from some schools. Being an OOS student (cali), the only impressions of the schools I got are from the interview day. So I'd like to hear what people think about these schools strengths/weaknesses.
Heres what I got from my interviews.
Miami- I loved Dr. Hinkley, Jackson Memorial was amazing and the clinical experience was raved about. Lots of research opps too supposedly. Miami itself is beautiful and reminded me of being on vacation in Hawaii
RFU- Chicago was great, downtown especially. Reputation sounds great in working in Cooks County etc. I wonder if it would be better/worst that the Miami area. It also kinda sucks that RFU is considered the lesser liked among the Chicago schools and the idea of 2 years in North Chicago wasnt terribly appealing...but downtown! Great facilities at the campus too, though very quiet.
Upstate- instate tuition sounds awesome after a year. Very friendly class, seems like a solid program but with a push for primary care maybe.
VCU- This day was very short and I didnt get too much of a feeling for the area since I was hopping around the Coast on a string of interviews. Has a great cancer center and friendly people.
Any other thoughts about these schools in relation to each other? How are the rankings between them too? (even though they dont mean that much)
so help a confused cali kid choose his future school!
