Hi! I need some help deciding what I should do. I am currently committed at Rosalind Franklin but was just offered a spot at MCW. It's a difficult decision, I already have an apartment set up for RFU, and this came out of left field for me. I've been living in Milwaukee for almost 5 years now and spent the last year working for MCW so I know the school and staff very well.
RFU:
Pros:
-Family in Chicago
-Students were all extremely friendly and seemed happy to be there
-Already committed and have an apartment ready
Cons:
-Not many research opportunities
-No affiliated hospitals
-New curriculum launching
MCW:
Pros:
-Great students and community
-Already familiar with the area/a lot of the doctors who work there
-Research opportunities and established curriculum
Cons:
-Large class size
-Farther away from family (not a huge issue for me)
