So I was accepted to CCLCM and was just accepted to Icahn SOM of Mount Sinai. Icahn has been my dream school throughout this application process and I'll outline the pros and cons for each below:
CCLCM
Pros:
Free tuition
top 4 hospital
no tests or grades
only 32 students
great research and clinical experiences
amazing match list
Cons:
Cleveland
Far from family, friends, and girlfriend
5 years
only 32 students
Icahn
Pros:
Dream school
In NYC and close to family, friends, and girlfriend (I am from NY area)
amazing and unique student body
Access to various NYC hospitals
Great match in NYC (where I want to match)
True P/F and tests given online and over the weekend
Cons:
Maybe less prestige than CCLCM?
NOT FREE TUITION (I have yet to talk to them about merit scholarships)
Any advice that can be offered would be greatly appreciated. Both programs are amazing and I believe that academically I can succeed at both. My greater concern is where I will be happy and how much the money should mean to me. Thank you in advance!
