P/F clerkships + no AOA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> H/P/F clerkship + AOAThank you all for the insight! It seems like the overwhelming consensus is on UCSF (which I agree with). I was wondering whether anyone has input into the value of P/F clerkships without AOA (UCSF) vs Honors/P/F clinical and AOA (Cornell).
Do you think there will be significant differences in the overall stress and competitive atmosphere of these schools? Are there any cons to P/F clerkships (differentiation)? This might have been discussed before but I guess I’m not completely sure yet what the benefits of P/F clerkships look like. TIA!
I think UCSF clinical training is better than Harvard, more focused on primary care.UCSF is clearly the superior school in every aspect (unless you want to match rad onc at MSKCC or ortho at HSS in which case Cornell). UCSF's clinical training, research, and prestige are all unmatched by any school other than HMS and Hopkins. And don't forget the abundance of top ranking home residency programs in practically every field.
I do personally think NYC >> SF but we're talking about SF here not rural Nebraska.
Also you have no idea how stressful H/HP/P/F clerkships are when your grade is basically based off of 1. How good you are at sucking up 2. attractiveness (seriously) 3. Luck.
Looks like a no brainer to me honestly.
I have yet to receive Cornell's FA package. I'll make a more detailed comment in the next couple of weeks, but I'll say UCSF's FA would leave me in about 20k loans for the 4 years. Not a bad deal if you ask me!did you end up getting FA packages from both schools? if so, how do they compare?
