choosing a letter grade school over pass/fail

[deleted994703]

hi everyone! Im having a really hard time picking between two schools. i wanted to know if choosing to go to a pass/fail school makes a huge difference stress wise. Would i be dumb to pick a school that does letter grades over pass/fail because i liked the clinical experience more? I absolutely love both schools and think both clinical experiences are amazing. I also dont want to specialize. I appreciate any advice!

If price were equal, I’d go to school with P/F. I don’t think the clinical education is going to make much of a difference.!

I go to a school with letter grades and it’s not that bad. Personally, I’d rank location and clinical experience above P/F. I say go with your gut if it’s telling you midwestern.

Go to the cheapest school

Go to the cheapest school

unfortunately they’re both expensive and similar in price, that’s why i’m using other factors to decide

I'd rather go P/F and then if you think you need more experience do a 1 year GPR/AEGD

If you want to specialize go to a p/f school. People will naysay and make it seem like "just study and get good grades and high rank" thats a lot easier said than done.

hi everyone! Im having a really hard time picking between two schools (asdoh and midwestern-il). Im leaning more towards midwestern due to the location and clinical experience. The only thing holding me back is that asdoh has pass/fail, i wanted to know if choosing to go to a pass/fail school makes a huge difference stress wise. Would i be dumb to pick a school that does letter grades over pass/fail because i liked the clinical experience more? I absolutely love both schools and think both clinical experiences are amazing, im just leaning towards midwestern a bit more and feel so conflicted. I also dont want to specialize. I appreciate any advice!

I would better suggest you write down the list of the top 5 criteria, give them scores from 1 to 10 and decide. I will also recommend asking alumni about their experience or googling school reviews.

Can you disclose the price? Curious.

Is it MWU IL or AZ?

If AZ, I would definitely pick that, though the cost for both is ridiculous, the clinical experiences at MWU-AZ are definitely superior to ASDOH imo.

I'm not very familiar with IL one personally. I would likely lean towards P/F.

I can definitely say ASDOH is in a nicer area than MWU-IL, no snow or anything either
