School list
Location is very important to me, I want to be in a city (would love NYC) because I have a keen interest in treating diverse, vulnerable patient populations - limited English proficiency/Spanish speaking patients, LGBT patients, etc. I would not be thrilled to go back to the south (am a damn librul).
I want and expect research to be a big portion of my career as an MD, looking to enroll at a research-oriented school.
I absolutely hated the hyper-competitive nature of the premeds at my undergrad (i.e. always talking about beating the curve, hostility toward those who are "better" than them, constant obsession over grades and comparing themselves to others, judging people like me who went out and had a social life instead of worrying about getting straight As) and am seeking schools with systems in place to prevent this type of atmosphere (e.g. true P/F systems, good support systems in place for positive quality of life, overall really dope people).
