UIC Chicago
Pros
Cons
Mt. Sinai
Pros
Cons
Summary: Should I go to Mt. Sinai over UIC Chicago because it is a better ranked program or should I stay in Chicago with my friends and girlfriend? I enjoyed my interview days at both schools and the location for both schools are amazing so that is not an issue. I think I want to match into a competitive residency (surgery).
Pros
- Went to undergrad at UIUC so I have a bunch of friends living in Chicago
- My girlfriend is currently working in Chicago
Cons
- Not as highly ranked
- A bit more expensive (~10k/year)
Mt. Sinai
Pros
- Better ranked
- More helpful for matching into better residencies
Cons
- Moving to a new place and NY feels overwhelming
