Pros: bigger city, more research opportunities on campus and in surrounding area (NIH, Hopkins)
Cons: feels like a wholesale med school and lacks personability

Pros: homely environment, staff and faculty seem to care about students more, even administrators are really nice
Cons : far from big city, and research opportunities limited. The quality of the research is great, but there is only a small pool of researchers (compared to the D.C. area).
My goal is to be in academic medicine and be involved in translational/basic science research. Kind of like this person: Daniel A. Lim MD, PhD - Department of Neurological Surgery | UCSF
I have a decent basic science background (two first author publications from the 3 years of research I've done post-undergrad) and will not be applying to MD/PhD programs (low GPA, low MCAT, and don't want to be in school for another 8 years).
