"Simulation center is the 5th biggest in the country, and the students utilize it extensively (200 hrs required); Happiness of students (They have a life!); Diversity of students (about 50% are non-trad; about 25% go abroad summer after M1 with funding from school); Willingness of the school to raise good physicians (it's obvious from all the money the school spends on students and teaching facilities and responsiveness to feedback); UPMC is the biggest hospital system in the country, and UPitt students are the sole med students to roam this system! Awesome!" Report Response

"Pitt offers so many opportunities to students (research, early clinical exposure, money for whatever scholarly thing you want to do, "too many opportunities" as my faculty interview put it), it's a great option whether you're open-minded about what you want to do or you know you want to do something specific. The school definitely makes you feel welcome and treats you well. Bring walking shoes for the ~2 hr walking tour of the huge school campus. Stay with a student host. " Report Response
