First of all, thanks for any useful information you may be able to contribute. I (FL resident) have been accepted at UF, USF, and UCF and I am having a tough time coming to a decision. I haven't heard back from any concerning financial aid but its my understanding that it will be slim-pickings from at least USF and UF. The main complaint I hear about UF is that is ultra-competitive and full of gunners but I have no idea if this information is current seeing as they have moved to a pass/fail system. UCF seems to be a bit of a risk seeing as there are no current stats on their Step averages or residency matches. I have heard they have a great faculty though and I do like the area/small class size. USF has great clinical immersion but I have done my undergrad here and I am getting tired of Tampa. Still the school seems great and I have a lot of friends going here next year. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

TLDR: What are the best/worst parts of these schools?

I think medical school is what you make it, so don't worry about the reputations of the school when making a decision (just like it is senseless to worry about USMLE averages; that's more a product of your work than it is of the school's reputation or curriculum). All of them are excellent schools in their own right.

UF or USF. They have full accreditation and match stats.
