Been fortunate enough to receive both of these acceptances....tough decisions... I'm trying to return to Washington state for residency. I also want to get the highest board score possible. Worried about AZCOM due to the tuition. Worried about Western due to lower board scores/less reputation so not sure how I will match.
AZCOM
Pro: College life/vibe
Hot weather
Cost of living cheaper
Board scores
Strong program/reputable
Less OMM
Con:
Tuition
Traditional curriculum
Students seemed less happy than comp-nw students
hell-ish weather in the summer
Western-NW
Pro: family atmosphere/collaborative
Students seemed very happy
Closer to family
Tuition
Con:
lower avg board scores
they doing a new curriculum
rural
A LOT of OMM
Less reputable
Any advice would help greatly.
