Yes, Biased! I am not talking about the comments on this topic. I am talking about the comments I have read over the past 2 years. Many of the things I read were misinformed and/or biased statements. When visiting the schools myself, I saw things I liked that some people didn't. As far as not having money or time...Most people don't. I didn't have money or time since I am married and had a 2 year old at the time and a pregnant wife who wasn't working. I was finishing school and had a part-time job. I had to pull out a small loan to buy my plane tickets. It cost less flying from school to school. Realistic?...Yes. It was a minimal investment to choose the school I would spend 4 years. I understand that many pre-pod students are from areas with Pod schools nearby or with family near a school. That is great. But many people don't have that or want to live in a different part of the country for 4 years. For those that know where they want to live, don't visit many schools. But the many of you who don't know where to go...visit many schools. I didn't want to come to the school I am at originally, because of the things said on here and from Dr.'s I shadowed, but they said things based on what they heard. I added this school as a vacation like many and ended up going here for multiple reasons. I don't care if people go to the school I am at, i just want people to make their own informed, unbiased, "realistic" decisions.
Anyways, if you had to choose one school right now where would you go? I'm curious to see how everyone's "top school" changes (or doesn't) throughout the application and interview process.
