Hey guys,
I am fortunate enough to have been accepted to both schools. I got pulled off the waitlist at UCONN recently and now have a tough choice. UCONN is about 1 hour from my house, Rush is a 2 hour flight. I'm excited to move to chicago and start new there, but also worried that i'll get home sick. Which school is better?
Uconn is changing curriculum, and the incoming class will be the first to go thru it. Uconn is only a little bit cheaper, nothing significant. Uconn has an awesome reputation and great facilities, and a new med school building. Rush is awesome, but I feel like it't reputation isn't as good as Uconn's. They do have cook county, arguably one of the best places to rotate thru as a med student. They are also huge on community service and have a lot of student run clinics. Also uconn is in the middle of nowhere and rush is in the heart of chicago. I'm interested in pediatrics, orthopedics, anesthesiology as of now but really open to anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
