In your opinion, which are the top 10 integrated or combined programs?

I have heard they include (in no particular order): Harvard, NYU, Penn, Pitt, Georgetown, UCSF, University of Washington, Michigan, Southwestern, Madison.
 
As an opinion only...

Penn, Georgetown, Michigan, Northwestern, UTSW, NYU, UCSF, Harvard, Univ. Washington, Pitt
 
top 10 varies by what your looking for. Those mentioned are the research/academic reputation group. The operative experience top 10 or quality of life top 10 groups may be different.
 
As someone who interviewed this year - sometimes the places I thought would be awesome turned out to be disappointing, and places I was originally only half way interested turned out to be incredible. I've also found that applicants often have very different opinions of schools, so instead of looking for the "best school" I would suggest applying broadly and interviewing at as many places as possible 🙂
