Hello, I am beyond excited to have received both of these acceptances. I am still waiting on some March decisions, but since I am terribly indecisive I have decided to start narrowing now.

I am not really set on a speciality I am broadly interested in derm, infectious disease, gyn, and anesthesiology to give perspective on how indecisive I am. I also want to pursue a career in academia. I haven't heard back for financial aid but Ik Chicago gives a lot of scholarships out so I am hoping for that.

Quality of life and student culture is VERY improtant to me. If I would be happier at an unranked school, I would go to that over a T5 for perspective. i am not trying to be miserable in med school. I am honestly not partial to either school as of now, would really appreciate perspective on this!
