I would like some feedback about the relative strengths and weaknesses of Umass Med vs. University of Wisconsin. This is a question about my third and fourth rank spots.
I think that UW is a bit more prestigious but not by much. It has a lot more research going on and it shares a campus with one of the countries great public universities. On the downside, it is in Wisconsin. Also, the program seems more geared toward outpatient psychiatry. I am quite interested in C/L and I know that the C/L service at UMass is strong.
I am kind of a halfsy, having lived about half my life in the Midwest and half my life in New England. My parents and extended family are in the Midwest. I currently live in Chicago. But, I still have small social network in New England.
Madison is a great small town, but I think that the social opportunities are much larger in greater Boston.
I am 36 and getting divorced after a 12 year relationship. My first and second rank choices are in the Midwest.
I have gotten more post-interview attention from Umass Med than from University of Wisconsin.
So, on balance what do you think about their relative strengths and weaknesses?
