does anyone know which program is more prestigious? Harvard South Shore or Tufts Medical center? I really like the HSS program but I keep hearing AMGs make nasty comments about it. I know it had problems in the past but now it seems to be an excellent program. Any inputs?

I would go with Tufts... Maybe also because I have heard bad things about HSS, including very bad and dangerous location...

But then Harvard is Harvard...

Thanks roseart. The campus in Brockton is safe, lots of security, right off highway. Brockton itself is not safe, but you don't have to go there. Then again, the subway in boston is not the safest either
. I'm not worried about the location. Tufts residents seem overworked. Anyone else wants to share their opinion? Maybe if you interviewed at both places you could share what you think about them?

@sammd, I accepted a prematch at UVa in Charlottesville. Although the program at Mayo is wonderful, moving to Rochester was impossible for me, as my husband had 0 chance to find work there. We did look, and apparently Mayo has an office dedicated to finding jobs for your spouse.
When I got my first prematch offer, I wrote to the PDs of my top five programs to let them know, and asking where I stood with them - Mayo PD said he offered a rank to match position, since they don´t give prematches. Since then, the associate PD has emailed me three times.
I just recently signed the letter of intent for UVa, since there was some trouble with the mail (Talk about stress - a month after accepting!). In the month while waiting for the silly letter, I got three more offers, and just today I withdrew from NRMP.
PS, I am a gal, not a guy ;o)
