pretty torn here between these two schools as of now.
Wright State:
-Pros: 3 hour drive from home, students seem very happy, plastic surgery residency program (I am very intersted in ENT and they do a good amount of facial plastics/ reconstruction), I potentially wanna come back to ohio after school not sure yet tho, pass/fail
-Cons: not super great research opportunities (most specialities im interested need a lot of research experience), mandatory lectures not recorded, dayton is okay but compared to being close to NYC for Hackensack it provides less opportunities, internal ranking
Hackensack:
-Pros: 45 minute drive to manhattan (where my girlfriend will most likely be), 3+1 program which will provide me the opportunity to do a lot of research in the 4th year, cool curriculum setup, hackensack hospital system is very good, has a residency program in another field I am intersted in (urology), true pass fail pre clinical.
-Cons: mandatory attendance (seems to be a little longer on day by day basis compared to wright), potentially long drives to rotations, no summer break, no ent residency program (they have a large ENT deparrment just no residency), some internal ranking system during clinical
