Definitely Pitt...its not in the same league as the other two (if you choose to believe in leagues hat is).

 

[funkydrmonkey]

Pitt...

 

[Chuck's Right Foot]

Pitt...

With UPMC and all the research funding you could want, Pitt is the best choice IMO.

 

[thebricks87]

We need more information... which is cheaper? Is weather a big problem for you? Where would you prefer to do residency, etc...

As far as weather:

Weather: Georgia > Pitt > Milwaukee (is that really too hard to assess yourself?)
-- BUT this totally depends on what kind of weather you like. I like warm.
Match Rate/Residency: year and student dependent. Do NOT use these to determine which school to go to. Just search "match list" in pre allo. There are TONS of threads where people explain why people should not use them to pick a med school. I can't even tell you who got in their top 3 from my class. For me, it's interesting to see where people are going, and that's the most useful it's been.


That's all I'm commenting on.

 

[thebricks87]

oh ok. Thanks

MCG is not a huge research institution. However, if you are intersted in cancer or immunology, we have booming labs in those fields (lots of NIH money and publications). MCG is also working on their NCI "Cancer Center" designation, something that no other school in GA/SC has.

Money wise, MCG's tuition of 14k/year is hard to beat. MCG is also the 4th oldest public medical school in the country.


Here's this year's match list:

[Smallville86]

Just curious, OP- why put Pitt aside? Are we just that awesome , or is the decision now between the other two?

I wondered that too...

 

[Scean]

maybe pit is a much much more expensive option for the op?

 

[drizzt3117]

they're probably WL there and got into the other two.
