Hi everyone! I feel super lucky and blessed to have been accepted to 6 schools (including USC, UCSD and UCI), I have narrowed down my options to these 3. Now I want to hear others opinions about these institutions since I am sure there are others with ideas/opinions I haven't heard yet.
I am interested in orthopedics, cardiology, general surgery, pediatrics, and basically most things. I want a school that will have the most options for whichever specialty I decide to pursue, and I also want one that won't break the bank. Also matching into California is important to me since I ultimately want to practice here. A positive + collaborative school is very important to me, since I don't really like cutthroat environments.
My application is very service oriented, and I want to be able to continue combining medicine and service throughout my career. I am from Northern California, which plays into this decision making a lot since it would be nice to be close to my family, and also my gf is applying to law school right now and being close to her means staying in California.
I would love to hear your thoughts and thanks for taking the time to read!
