<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am a student in Sophie Davis, which is a 7 year BS/MD program in NY.
This year, we need to apply to one of 6 medical schools for our clinical rotations (years 3 & 4 for MD degree). I am trying to decide among the following med schools:</p>
<p>Dartmouth, Downstate (SUNY), NYU, and Stony Brook (SUNY). [i currently have no preference... I listed them in alpha order]</p>
<p>I'm not sure about what specialty I want to go into... at this time I'm leaning toward academic medicine and away from surgeries, but beyond that, it's a huge plain to me...</p>
<p>Sophie Davis teaches us a lot about public health and the importance of primary care and I whole-heartedly support their goals, but I know they haven't shown us everything and I don't want to regret personal choices made in ignorance.</p>
<p>I've looked at all their websites, but they don't really help with this question: What is a good med school for scouting out all the possibilities (using only the mostly-clinical years 3 and 4 since that's when I'll be there), and still having a good shot at residency if/when I decide?</p>
<p>Thanks for reading!</p>
