So I commited to Scranton but just got off the waitlist from Drexel. Now I didn’t get a scholarship from Drexel but I got into their health science major but in Scranton got in undecided. I visited both schools and like both schools from the tours I did. Should it be wise to just lose my deposit and go to Drexel or just stay in Scranton. Drexel looks like is going to expensive costing $71,000 while Scranton at least be $41,000 not that expensive for me due to the scholarship. Is Drexel worth paying $71,000 cause I know they have a solid health program and I want to go for PT?
So Drexel would cost $120k more over 4 years, for a school that has a 24% graduation rate?
I think the answer is no…Drexel is highly overrated and not as good as U Scranton anyway.
A reliable source tells me the food, housing and social scene at Drexel are pretty bad.
Yeah I think Scranton is where I will most likely end up. Price is better and campus was nice as well. I liked Drexel but wasn’t like amazing to me and the price is too much. If it was less expensive I would consider it but its just too expensive.
How would you pay for Drexel anyway?
If you really want PT you may want to contact Scranton to see if you can move into that major as you were just offered the PT program at another school.
Good luck.

Drexel is $71k? Not worth it, particularly for PrePT.
How did they notify you? I’m still waiting to hear back 
Just got emailed by them.
