I have been very fortunate to have been accepted to several schools this cycle and have narrowed it down to the University of Pittsburgh (no financial aid information received yet) and Jefferson Medical College (full scholarship). I am possibly interested in going into neurosurgery or neurology but am definitely aware that may change once I begin school. While both interview days were great, I feel that my interactions with faculty and students at Jeff were above and beyond anything that I expected. I am very familiar with Philly and love the area Jeff is located, while I am not as familiar with Pittsburgh or the Oakland area where Pitt is situated. Both schools have a P/F curriculum, however, Jefferson will be enacting the new JeffMD curriculum starting next year and I am not sure how smoothly the transition will go over.
I wanted to reach out to the SDN community to get some objective feedback and maybe hear from some alumni or current students at either of the schools to hopefully gain some perspective before making this decision.
