hola noahs_arc,
us news and world report annually ranks graduate schools in the united states, it is looked upon as authoritative. please look at this link:
http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsa...ndex_brief.php
i attended Columbia university (number 10) shortly after college, as that was the university i attended. i was pregnant at the time and knew i could not meet the demands so i withdrew after two weeks to concentrate on my pregnancy. i would highly recommend the school, and i do not say that just as an alumna of the university.
it is very accomodating to women and minorities, like all the ivy schools they have some of the top researchers in the world, however unlike the other ivy schools you really get to know your professors and they consider themselves teachers before researchers. they will provide you with wonderful opportunities once you leave as well... i could tell from my brief period in the college of physicians and surgeons that the medical school carried that tradition over.
new york is also a very wonderful city to live in, if you consider columbia or other schools in new york please let me know, i can give you some information about affordable and safe places for students to live.
good luck in your search and in medical school, it is a very noble profession and i hope you are greatly satisfied and bring hope to many people :)
