What are the most important factors you will consider when you make your final decision about which school to attend this fall?

Did I leave any important ones off the list?

1. Cost
2. Location
3. Combined degree opportunities (I've considered MD/JD)

I'm really surprised so many people care strongly about curriculum, and so few care strongly about a pass-fail grading system. In my opinion, pass-fail makes the difference between whether you will spend your first two years being happy and relaxed with a lot of free time to play squash, or spend them miserable and preoccupied with grubbing for grades amidst classmates in whom an A-through-F grading system brings out the worst gunneristic tendencies. Also, I feel that anyone who would thrive in a PBL setting would also thrive in a lecture setting, and vice versa; if you're smart and work hard, you can thrive anywhere. You're more adaptable than you think. Just my two cents.

I probably should have included diversity as well. What can I say, I'm a white male in NY and I usually take diversity for granted.

looks like most people share my interest.

basically I'm looking for a decent school in an area I really like.

Costs for me too...

and location, gut feeling and clinical facilities.

I might be being sappy but I think "gut feeling" is the MOST important for me.

Are we talking American or International courts?

location and hospital affiliation were the two considerations that I used to narrow down my final choice.
