HELP, should I deny my acceptance?
I applied for the first time this past cycle and I desperately need some advice.
I am from Western New York and I just graduated from undergrad. Out of my 9 applications (Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Boston U, Tufts, Georgetown, U of Pittsburgh, U of Rochester, U at Buffalo) I received two interviews (Harvard and Buffalo) and one acceptance (Buffalo). Unfortunately, I have a few complicating issues affecting my decision to go to Buffalo for an MD: my desire to perform biochemical research (I...

MD Research Requirements for MSTP Students
From looking into different MSTPs I've noticed that some MD programs either require or encourage research and/or writing a thesis (e.g. Yale, Harvard, UCSF Distinction program). Does anyone know if these requirements also apply to MSTP students? Do MSTP students use the MD thesis to do more clinical than basic research? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Baylor vs. Yale
So I was all set to go to Baylor and then I got accepted off of the Yale waitlist, and now I'm very torn. Any advice appreciated!
Baylor:
+ great social support: close to parents (4 hours), close to several friends, 4 hours from significant other
+ in-state tuition
+ TMC is amazing
- a little harder to fit research in (no protected research time, no thesis requirement, no summer after 1st year)
- only one student run free clinic and was told at second look that it's pretty overcrowded and...

Northwestern vs Yale
Hello All,
I was hoping for some outside perspective regarding my matriculation decision. I was planning to enroll at Northwestern Feinberg, but was admitted to Yale from the waitlist. I have until this Wednesday (3/8) to make my decision. Cost is shaping up to be approximately equal between both.
I put together a running Pros and Cons list but any input or advice would be wonderful!
Northwestern
Pros: Chicago, near family, near friends and SO, large number of matches for...

Yale vs. UCSF
Hi all - long time lurker, first-time poster. I have narrowed down my options to these two and would appreciate any thoughts/input on them as I have to pick in a few days... Both will cost about the same so finances are not really a deciding factor here. I am also very open-minded going into medical school, but have interests in ortho/sports medicine, something neuro, health policy, and global health. Also, maybe a dual degree (MPH or MBA specifically). Though, these are definitely all...

Yale (free) vs Harvard (125-135k in debt at 4 years)
Hi all - as the deadline to choose where I will be matriculating to medical school quickly approaches, I have narrowed down my options to two schools: Yale or Harvard.
Yale (Full cost of attendance covered: living, tuition, technology...EVERYTHING)
This seems like the safest option. I went to Yale for undergrad and currently do research here during my gap year. If I choose to stay here, I will be able to continue my ongoing research project and would have the choice to flex into the MD-PHD...

Vanderbilt (with scholarship) vs. Hopkins vs. Yale
(note: I'm an ancient SDN member posting on behalf of my sister who doesn't have an account)
Hi everyone! I recently got off the waitlist at Yale and Hopkins, and now I'm trying to reach a decision about whether to stay at Vanderbilt (I accepted an offer there on traffic day) or take an offer at one of the two new acceptances!
About me: I'm an engineering major from California who's interested in health tech/innovation and biocomputation (but I'm also interested in medical...
