SUNY Upstate v. Temple University

[essentials123]

I'm a NYS resident hoping to become an academic physician, interested in orthopedics. I really value academics and research opportunities. Diversity is big as well. My goal as of right now is to match back into NYC. Tuition cost is not necessarily a factor, but I would appreciate any votes, feedback, or suggestions!


SUNY Upstate

Pros:

• NYS resident tuition
• ~1 hour away from family

Cons:

• Not located in a large city
• Matches less people into orthopedics
• Slightly lower match rate
• More of a focus on rural medicine

Temple University

Pros:

• Located in a large city
• Higher match rates for both ortho and NYC placements
• Slightly more access to research opportunities in the areas I want to study
• Better at producing academic physicians

Cons:

• More expensive tuition
• Farther from family
• Not the greatest area of the city, but this doesn't really bother me
