Personally case

#

Cost, less deflation, and proximity to top hospitals

#

Also personally for me avg class size is a pretty large factor as i dont like how in movies its always like 400 kids in a lecture hall

#

If you can appeal ucla coa and definitely transfer tho it seems like u prefer the atmosphere

#

In terms of food, weather, tier

#

Clubs

#

Definitely remember to keep innmind research tho! In the subject that you prefer

#

My dad says every accepted student hes met at weill cornell med school has had one minimum publication

#

So its p much like required

#

I dont think the term ohio should be neg unless u mean the political atmosphere or smth or it was satire 😭

i just hear a lot about physics being quite the challenge
