I grew up in Vegas and came to UCSD for undergrad because I love San Diego. I graduated about a year ago - some time off to apply and have fun. Now I'm down to U of Chicago and UCSD as my two choices to medical school. Here are some of my ideas...
- Chicago would be a great new experience.
- But I know I love SD so why leave? I love the weather, the city, and the activities to do.
- I will have the comforts of 'home' and friends while I'm stressed out during med school (and not having to learn a new city).
- UCSD is ranked just above Chicago in US News.
- Both schools are more lecture based first year, with organ based lecture/pbl second year
- Chicago uses standardized patients first year. UCSD learns the info first year (with some practice) and works with real patients second year.
I would appreciate any input! I just go back and forth between both options. 😕 Thanks!
