Hi all,

I am really struggling to make a choice so if anyone has some time and/or thoughts to share that would be so helpful!!


NJMS

• PROS
  • location! Close to family and friends
  • 20k scholarship!
  • PF
  • Urban/diverse patient population and community oriented which is my direct interest
  • strong match list
• CONS (not sure there are many cons)
  • I guess the facilities are not as nice?

RUSH

• PROS
  • Chicago seems great - i think I would really like it
  • Community service oriented and also urban/underserved environment
  • Don't need a car
• CONS
  • far from family and support system
  • no scholarship (yet?)
  • not as much matching to the northeast?
  • Weather - not looking forward to the windy cold

Netter

• PROS
  • 30k scholarship!
  • Really enjoyed my interview and the feel of the school from that
  • great match list
  • close-ish to family still
• CONS
  • not sure how great NewHaven/Camden is?
  • Not very urban environment - a bit different than the urban underserved population I am hoping to be in
  • small(er) class size
  • No home hospital or residency programs (still great matching though)
  • Need a car

I will be going to each second look day so I'll have more of a feel for both soon.

Any insight would be incredibly helpful. Thanks so muchhh

NJMS seems to meet the family and money goals while also having more pros than cons
