Need some help deciding between these two. A little bit about me: I’m looking at surgical subspecialties like ortho, preferably on the East Coast. I have full tuition offers from both, and from my impressions, students are extremely happy at both schools. Both have P/F preclinicals and graded clerkships. Both are far from family.

Pros
-better matches into competitive specialties
-loved the location in central Philly
-more home programs
Cons
-large class size, kinda too big
-internal ranking in thirds
-might need car for clerkships
-inhouse exams
Einstein
Pros
-more research opportunities, I think
-cheaper student housing
-more prestige, with it going tuition free?
-great exam schedule (only on Fridays, so weekends are free)
Cons
-Bronx kind of far from Manhattan
-does not match well in fields like ortho? Not sure why
-inhouse exams
Thank you all in advance.
