i'm in the situation you mentioned earlier. i just found i got into emory, so have 48 hrs to choose bw that school and tufts. however, i would drop both in a second for sinai.
but as you know, emory starts july 23rd, so by choosing them, i will be effectively decreasing my window of opportunity at sinai. pretty ridiculous, right?
anyway, this is quite the quandary. i much prefer tufts for location, and also for the extra time it affords me on the sinai wait-list (tufts starts aug 25th). but people in the profession keep telling me that emory has a stellar reputation.
this is one of the hardest decisions i've ever had to make. wish me luck.
btw, i spoke to the adcom at sinai yesterday, hoping i could extract more info from them after i described my situation, but they basically laughed and were like 'we can't tell you anything.'
catch you guys later. good luck to all.
