I cant imagine it's too hard...you're just on campus seeing pretty buildings and in the dorms. I don't think I would have worried about it during overnights/visits during college—I was just thinking about the people, friends, screwing around, etc. and we don't leave campus at all. Honestly first two years of college aren't bad especially for premed since you're both a) living on campus (super nice) and b) not leaving campus often. But third, especially fourth year, you see what it's really like and what medical school would be like.How does U Chicago manage its campus tours/overnight stays in such a way as to mask the crime problem on/near campus that you've described?
During medical school you're more independent and you're not on campus all the time + no dorms and you have to venture pretty far into hyde park for food, and if you want cheap food you have to go beyond the 'danger zone' which sucks. I personally buy delivery and take the financial burden but it's definitely worth it.
Eh, honestly considering most state flagships are T25-40 I would have picked them over Pritzker without question, on top of the fact that they probably cost 1/3rd of the price not counting possible merit aid. Pritkzer also matches highly into the midwest and Chicago itself (please no). Just my two cents. Pritzker is consistently ranking in the high teens/low 20s so it's not something to rave home about anyway, for you people that cry about T3 or no medical school.One of my friends from undergrad is at Prtizker rn and she was summa cum laude at HYPSM, good leadership, high MCAT and Pritzker and her home state school was the only As that she received. Obviously it’s still a very successful cycle, but it’s not like she had a ton of options/leverage to complain about location
I don't know about Baltimore but it sounds like it's nearing Chiraq-esque levels which is mildly concerning to hear....maybe someone from there can chime in to confirm/deny
