i know virtually nothing about NYU but i did interview at case.
COL in cleveland would be A LOT less than in NYC
much smaller class size at case
amazing facilities at case
PBL program gives you lots of free time compared to other programs
the only drawback i see to case: not having board scores yet for this hybrid PBL program. i don't think the first class to go through the same program you will be going through will take part I until the summer.
