Really need help with this because I need to make a decision very soon. I'm not sure if this is an obvious choice but would like it if some of you can kick sense into me. Also to keep in mind, I am from Southern California and would love to do my residency in California. I know that a majority of UCR students get matched into California residencies, but would that mean I would have a harder time matching into a California residency if I go to UW? (Side note: I got a tuition waiver at UW, so I don't have to pay the non-resident tuition. UW tuition at the moment is similar to my in-state UCR tuition, if not, a bit cheaper)
UCR
+Located in Southern California (nice & warm weather)
+UC system (potentially simple match into other UC residencies)
-New school
-Less resources than UW
(Don't know if I will be getting a scholarship here yet, haven't sent out financial award letters yet)
UW
+Tuition waiver + 10k scholarship offered.
+Seems like a very resourceful school
+(Prestige) Ranked #7 in research & #1 in primary care
-Located in rainy & snowy Seattle (far from family)
-Rotations in 3rd & 4th year across many states (requires us to move around a lot)
