express, i think i was too curt when i made that comment, but heres what i mean:

union/amc has a very specific focus, leadership in medicine with an administraative/business outlook…the program is definately good, but even those in the program are more concerned with being good physicians than being good administrators…the ms or mba option is looked on as a bonus of the program, but medicine is still the most important thing

browns med program is more prestigious and does better placing of students in competitive residencies like derm, urology, rads, rad onc among others…amc is aimed at producing primary care physicians…while both are med programs they are drastically different and do require more than just prestige to be weighted against one another, however the undergrad experience that wwould be offered by brown is really unparalled to unions undergrad experiences, and that is why i was suprised someone would seriously consider union over brown
