Hi! Similar to some other people, I'm having trouble deciding between two schools: Harvard BBS and Gerstner Sloan Kettering. Basically overall I got better vibes at GSK from both the faculty and students there, I could really see myself living in NY (and already have friends there), and I've also worked there before making me feel confident that it would be a good environment for me in terms of fit. In addition, there are various aspects of the program that I like for instance that you don't have classes and rotations at the same time, and the smaller size of the program makes me feel like I would get more attention and support. With that being said, Harvard is Harvard and I'm having a really hard time turning it down. During my visit I did talk to some faculty that I could see myself working with, although the same could be said for GSK. In addition, the program is a lot bigger which worries me in terms of student community/support etc. I think overall I'd be happier at GSK, I'm really interested in cancer cell bio so I think it would be a good fit research interest wise too, but Harvard definitely has the prestige factor. Anyways I'm super stuck so I'd appreciate any thoughts/help/opinions. Thanks!
