U Wisconsin vs U Miami vs UCF

[angrytheanimal]

I am very undecided as to what I want to do for residency but I do not want to be limited by my school choice should I choose to go with a competitive speciality.

I have done a lot of comparisons so now I just want to get an opinion on which school will objectively have more opportunities and make me the most competitive applicant when it comes to choosing a residency.

U Miami and UCF seem to match really well into competitive specialties too.

U Miami:
-on the waitlist, but expecting to be pulled off it but uncertainty with scholarships

UCF: withdrew from UCF due to 4/30 deadline
-40% tuition scholarship

U Wisconsin: 65% go into primary care, but that could just be preference of students that choose UW SMPH?
-full tuition scholarship

Any explanations and thoughts are welcome, thanks in advance!

Wisconsin just based on the cost to prestige ratio

first off congrats. Wisconsin not even a question. While a lot of ppl go into primary care thats likely due to their own choosing or their grades. You control your own fate so if you end up in primary care....youll end up in there no matter what school you go to.

Personally, considering the insane network and affiliations that U-wisconsin has....it's not even comparable. UCF is pretty good too considering it's a a large program in terms of fellowships and residencies but I still think Wisconsin outcompetes it.

Wherever you go, goodluck. Med school is tough and youll love and hate what you learn.

Best.

How did you feel over Extended Second look at Wisconsin vs your UCF second look?

I liked both equally as much!

You are from Florida correct?
How important is the family aspect / proximity from home? Have you had a chance to log into OASIS to look at previous matchlists? I think they have like 10 years work of matchlists up so you could look at how many people are matching into the competitive specialties that you are interested in.

I cannot speak to which school would be objectively better and I am also biased because I do plan on matriculating to UW SMPH in the fall but I hope this can be a good place to start.
