Very grateful to be in a position where I have a choice. I’m approaching school with an open mind but after being involved in several nsgy related activities I’m quite interested by the field. I’d ideally want to attend a school that optimizes my chances if I decide to go through with it. Main concern is Drexel being more established and having the better name and matching more people into nsgy, especially at some NYC programs where I would love to be. Drexel is also true p/f with no internal rankings while Cooper is H/HP/P/F with tiered internal rankings.
Cooper however has every other pro: in house nsgy program, lower COA, smaller class, home hospital.
Drexel has had 17 students match into nsgy in the past 5 years.
Cooper has had 3 students match in the past 5 years.
In terms of program strength, to a naive eye it also seems Drexel students are matching at stronger programs but that I am not fully sure about. I know that Drexel's class size is about 2.5x greater but they still seem to match stronger.
Any advice would be appreciated! Pretty torn here.
