I really wish I could Frankenstein bits and pieces of each one together to make something like San Sinai-Mount Diego SOM. Few schools, if any, match the atmosphere at Sinai.Įchoing VintagePigskin, huge congrats to you! I adored the atmosphere at both schools. Additionally, I think you hit the nail on the head by lauding Sinai's innovative curriculum and learning environment. Admittedly, I do not know as much about schools on the west coast, but you cannot lose with a Sinai education the school can place you at any residency in existence. Sinai is a powerhouse in medicine and is renowned internationally for advances in the field.
I would strongly push back against your assertion that Sinai's reputation is "mostly regional". You are correct, however, that UCSD may indeed permit you a better chance at a residence in CA. Both are Top 20 Medical Schools, and neither will grant you any substantial advantage over the other. 19 ranking, in my opinion, does not matter. UCSD is certainly a great school, but I would be weary of choosing any school with such hefty emphasis on something so ephemeral. I do think it is telling that your #1 "pro" for UCSD is weather. You should be proud of yourself for all of your hard work! I'll begin by stating that you have two absolutely fantastic choices for medical school. Any SDNers want to suggest some important factors I am not considering? Thanks y'all I want to do primary care but will be open to other specialties if my preference changes during med schoolĪgain I really do not know much about either schools other than what I can gleam from websites and my interview day tours. Lower rank (#19) and reputation is mostly regional? Will this affect me in residency applications?ġ.
#Uscsd flextime free#
Seems like students are given a lot of free time to explore interest/extracurricularsĢ. Great for Internal Medicine (something I am interested in)Ĥ. Approach to curriculum meshes well with my personal learning style + take home tests!ģ.
#Uscsd flextime plus#
Facilities were amazing and are right next door to apartments (big plus for me)Ģ. Students didn't seem that happy about the curriculum (could just be my interview day)ġ. The drive/commute in La Jolla/SD traffic for clerkship (I hate driving)Ģ. Better for community health? Is this true?ġ. Better chance at California residency? Because of location? I'm not really familiar with how residency selections workĤ.
Higher rank (#14)? Does this really matter?ģ. Sinai and the vibe I got there, but I want to position myself where I can come back to California for residency.Īfter scholarships/grants costs will roughly be the same and would not factor into my decision making.Ģ. I am super blessed to have this choice as this cycle seemed pretty competitive. Hello SDN brothers and sisters, so I'm deciding between UCSD and Mount Sinai.
