BU:
Pros
Tufts:
Pros
Basically these schools seem very similar to me and I am having a tough time making up my mind. BU seemed to offer a more compelling education with the potential for more unique clinical experiences. Tufts students seemed uniformly happy to be at Tufts and the atmosphere was very balanced and healthy, to an extent I did not feel at BU. Would appreciate any additional thoughts on the schools or how I should make up my mind in the next few days.
Pros
- School seems mission-driven, strong commitment to the underserved
- BMC is a safety net hospital, has level I trauma center
- More research funding
- Hard to reach via public transportation
- Very expensive
Tufts:
Pros
- Student body very happy, good balance of school and other interests
- Tufts Medical Center also works with a diverse, underserved community in Chinatown
- Newer, higher quality facilities for preclinical years
- Fewer research opportunities/less funding
- Very expensive
