Match Experience
All personal issues being equal my list was like Pitt, Wisconsin, Case... then the rest: CCF, TJU, WVU. Importance to me were quality of education, resident happiness, and lifestyle. So happy I matched at my #1, Pitt. Wouldn't change a thing. People rave about Pitt being a top program and hospital system, which it is, and you guys shouldn't sell Wisconsin or Case short- also great for anesthesia.
