Pulled from the Pitt waitlist and simply don't know how to compare the two places (don't know enough about the programs or any students within the schools themselves). On the one hand, I have Boston which is an incredible city, the hub of alot of medical thought. Yet Pitt seemed great because of its being the primary facility for all of Pittsburgh. Is the training vastly superior at Pitt as the "rankings" would lead me to believe? Or are these rankings based upon the significant difference in basic research funding? But, then again, such research can only serve to enhance the medical training, right? I guess the basic question is, in terms of clinical training, which school would provide higher quality and opportunity? I think I can deal with either location and respective differences amongst personalities within the student body. Thanks for any input. Decision has to be made by Wednesday. And for all of you waiting on waitlists, this is the first one I have heard from. Was losing faith in the process, but it really does work... eventually...
