School: SLU
Pros
Cons
School: IU
Pros
Cons
Summary: I like SLU's vibes but IDK if it'll be too hard to match into competitive residencies. Bloomington might be nicer to live in if I match in?
Pros
- Know people there, have a support system.
- I dig the student culture from people I've interacted with.
- Seems like this school genuinely cares about students and offers personalized guidance.
- I like the vibes.
- Community service focus which aligns w my values.
Cons
- STL seems a bit sketch as a city but I lived in Chicago (Near South side) for a few years so IDK how it stacks up.
- Research isn't as extensive as IU.
- Lower rank.
School: IU
Pros
- Higher rank.
- More research funding, probably more opportunities (wanna keep options open for a surgical specialty).
- More students.
- Bloomington, Fort Wayne seem like nice places to live.
Cons
- Campus placement is a tossup.
- Admin doesn't seem very attentive to students, the onboarding process has been super chaotic.
- I don't know the vibe of the school since I have had 0 opportunity to interact w students.
