Hi guys. I was accepted into Drexel and had been planning to go there, but I've just been surprised with an acceptance from Ohio State. I know that Ohio is generally more well regarded, but I'm wondering if anyone has any more specific advise on how to choose.

(also, any advice on how to decline from Drexel at this point, after submitting a bunch of their paperwork?)

Thanks for any help!

Ohio State is much more well-regarded (for a reason), but ultimately you should go to wherever you'll be happiest. Ohio State offers better research opportunities and advancements in medicine and likely would give you greater choices in terms of where/in what you match. If your life goal is to be a primary care physician in Pennsylvania, then Drexel may be a better choice.

If it's a toss up, go with OSU.
