U of S has a lower profile and lower apparent prestige than some of the "big" schools like U of T. For those researching which med school to potentially attend, have you come across any reasons to choose U of S over one of these larger schools? (other than location, family etc., just based on the school alone). Also what would be some reasons not to attend U of S?
Here are some of mine. Please speak up if you disagree.
Reasons to attend:
1. Small class size - get to know fellow classmates and faculty better, more hands-on experience in the clinic.
2. It's the only school you get accepted.
Reasons not to attend:
1. Poor public image due to "probationary" status of med school.
2. Fewer opportunities to do research than at a larger research-intensive university.
