Hi, dancer1023. I can tell you that, in SoCal at least, Chapman's students are well-regarded. I've talked to a lot of PTs in the area, and they all say the same thing: they're all very clinic-ready students. A friend of mine graduated from the program last year, and he raves about the program and the professors. I was about 98% sure I wanted to go to Chapman, and talking to him made me absolutely sure. Sorry I can't say anything about NYMC! Congrats on your acceptances, and good luck in your decision. (And if you decide to go to Chapman, I'll see you there!)
