Hello Snd peeps!
This is my first time starting a forum, so forgive any protocol breeches!
I was lucky enough to get accepted to a couple of medical schools this cycle, but in the end my decision appears to come down to Rush or NYU (unless I magically get into Columbia off the wait list!)
I know that these are dramatically different schools with different focuses and reputations, but I am currently in a situation where location is playing a big factor in my choice.
A bit about me, I did a ton of research in undergrad and was never extraordinarily excited about it (benchwork and clinical). I plan on doing Internal Medicine with the possibility going into GI. Prestige is not super important to me, as I intend to pursue some type of career in primary care.
Now for the tricky bit! I'm getting married in June to a delightful individual who is pretty much willing to follow me anywhere. However, he was recently offered his absolute dream job in Chicago. He was admitted to a professional grad program at NYU and Columbia, so if we went to NYC he wouldn't be twiddling his thumbs.
I am trying to consider quality of life quite a bit when making this decision. I want to bit a school and a city that will lead to a happy four years, but I also don't want to limit myself.
I adored my interview at Rush and though the students seemed happy and very well balanced. The students at NYU and Columbia were also fantastic and the facilities were amazing.
Any advice would be super duper helpful! Thanks!
