Drexel vs PCOM

[Coastie]

Match lists and overall availability of opportunities should definitely be the top criteria when a med student to be is selecting their school of attendence. Generally, quality of life and education play directly into the match list results of a given school.

Get the 08 results of each, and then decide. Call the schools: they should be more than happy to publish them to you (if they haven't already).

Ahhhh your ignorance must be bliss. Just because a school matches a bunch of people into more competitive residencies isn't the absolute measure of its quality. My father has two docs working for him who both gave up Drexel and Temple respectively to go to PCOM and for a variety of reasons, including quality of life and education. I am not bashing Drexel or Temple but there are definately people out there that are looking beyond match lists or MD vs DO to make their decision.

I think some of the other posts provide some excellent advice on other things to consider when deciding between these great schools. I think the best advice is going to be from those that are actually going to these schools or have graduated from them. See if you can talk to some current students at either of these schools to get a more objective view of both of them.

So is wrath and envy.

Jealous much?

But pride is the deadliest of them all.
