^ over stanford maybe, but why would anyone rank it over UCSF...and certainl not over Penn unless your family is in NYC and you can't be 90 minutes away and therefore want a program that is, no question, less clinically/academically strong

Does anyone personally know someone who ranked at Penn? Are they normal people? lol or ate they more awkward than a boy in a middle school dance?

Did people listen to the topical podcast with that guy from Penn? I thought it was crazy to hear Mostaghimi basically admits HMS is still a step behind Penn. that alone makes me want to meet one of these Penn kids
