renster Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) - Both schools are top ranked; - Both have great research opportunities and great faculty; - Money is the same at both schools; - Both programs prepare students for both medical and school based positions, but emphasize research; - Visited one school and loved the program but not the city / cold weather; - Have not been able to visit the other, but have visited area and liked it very much; - Easier for my boyfriend / family to visit the cold weather city and the cold weather city school is (very) slightly more prestigious in field, but definitely more prestigious overall; - Cold weather school is located in a "liberal" city (a plus); - Other school is located in a "conservative" city (not sure if this would be a negative) but have long been interested in living in this area; - Will possibly transition into PhD program wherever I go, and so am looking at potentially living in this area for 5 + years (and if I do this, likely that my boyfriend and I will break up b/c he is tied to our current location).
