I agree, I guess I should give more information. I definitely want to end up in academic medicine and plan on being involved in research during medical school. I really liked the facilities at Cincinnati and the students seemed happy there. I am not quite sure about their new curriculum as it was just implemented this year - I do not know how good the school is at implementing a PBL style curriculum. As of now, I think I want to to something in pediatrics and Cincinnati has an awesome children's hospital. (However, if I were to go there for medical school, I do not plan on staying at Cincinnati for residency). I did not like the location of the school very much and from what I hear Cincinnati is not a particularly interesting city to live in.
As for Einstein, the students here seemed EXTREMELY nice. I spoke to several students during my interview and they were very down to Earth and easy to talk to. The school facilities were nice and Montefiore (the only hospital I saw) was great. They have a traditional curriculum, which I am fine with. The location of the school is not the greatest (in my opinion) but Manhattan and other areas of NYC are close by. I just think it would be interesting to live somewhere that's completely different to my current location.
Overall, I think going to Einstein would be a more interesting experience. However, the debt I would accumulate would be greater than that from Cincinnati. So I guess it comes down to choosing between the cheaper school and the school where I think I would be happier.
