Hello!
I've been accepted to both Rush and Wake Forest. However, I haven't been able to make a decision yet and would like input!
When I interviewed at Wake, I was drawn to the curriculum, particularly the 1.5 preclinical years. I also like how they divide the class into Harry Potter houses. However, they offer 1.5 months of STEP studying (Rush offers 2 months). I also enjoy exploring when I'm not studying. I like experiences, food, etc. but I'm not sure if Winston-Salem will offer this for me. I really enjoy cooking/eating Asian food, but the city doesn't seem to have lots of options for this. I am leaning to go to Rush because I might be happier in Chicago, but I'm aware that Wake is marginally higher ranked than Rush. Perhaps I wont mind living in a small city and see what Winston-Salem has to offer! After all, I hate dealing with traffic.
Rush really emphasizes community service, which aligns with my values as a future physician. I want to make the most of all the service opportunities that Rush offers. Also, I am so excited about the possibility of living in Chicago. I'm not sure how I feel about the flipped classroom since I've succeeded in college by attending lectures. I've also heard that Wake has stronger match lists than Rush for anesthesiology but I'm not too sure about this. I'm also interested in neurology as well, which I believe Rush has a stronger match for.
If anyone would like to add something, please let me know! I would also value any feedback you may have. Thank you!
