Hi all,
I picked up a "sloppy seconds" via a cancellation. So now - if you had to pick two out of the three for the infamous Jan 10th/11th dates:

KU - Wichita (10th or 11th)
Nebraska (11th ONLY)
Wright State - Dayton (10th or 11th)

Any advice? Thanks!
NONE OF THE ABOVE- I'd rather be a primary care physician than live in that area of the country.

Try making your travel arrangements first. Sometimes the decision will make itself out of sheer physical impossibility getting to one place or another.

I don't know about you, but I'm trying to avoid making as many decisions as possible. I'd rather leave it up to Lady Luck.

Not everyone can be a selective as BigBone, so I wouldn't go cancelling all three. I think logistically, your best bet would be hit Nebraska and Wichita. You could make the drive from Wichita to Omaha in ab out 5 hours. You are stuck with a flight, or an 10-11 hour drive between either and Dayton.

i interviewed at wichita and wright state (but not nebraska). Both are good community programs. I ranked wichita higher for geographic regions (i am originally from souther missouri) but i thought the dayton program was good too. One thing to keep in mind is that wichita has 4 spots, while dayton only has two. When i was there in dayton they had a pretty nice new hospital with a gym, raquetball, and basketball courts for the residents to use. They also were getting considerably busier b/c another hospital in the area had just shut down, leaveing miami valley hospital (in dayton) as the only level 1 in the area. The ER there has close to 100 rooms!

Nebraska is the best program and most highly regarded of the three. I would definitely go there.

The others I don't know anything about.

One of the first year residents at my school absolutely loved Nebraska and ranked it No. 1 (and didn't get it obviously). That's all I know... sorry, no specifics on the program.
