<p>Hi guys. Over the past few weeks I've been accepted into the Drexel/Drexel and Villanova/Drexel 7 year medical programs. I'm now trying to decide between the two schools, and I've visited both; however, I'm really torn between the two. I've been trying to weigh the pros and cons but I can't confidently come to a decision. Does anybody have any suggestions or thoughts on which program to pick? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!</p>
@rmoney1 I’ve also gotten into both programs, and am having the same problem in choosing between them, so hopefully we can help each other. For me, I’m leaning to Villanova. I have a full ride there while at Drexel I’d have to pay around 8-10 a year, so I’d advise you to look at the financials, unless that won’t be a problem for you. Villanova is also a more solid institution with a much better education (it’s ranked much higher than Drexel).
I personally am thinking of applying out of the program if I feel confident after three years that I can get into a better med school, so I think Villanova is a better stepping stone for that plan.
Also, I’m not sure if this matters to you, but Villanova is in a pretty rich and safe area, while Drexel, from what I hear, is at the other end of the spectrum.
This is what I know so far. Let me know if you disagree or have anything to add
