I've currently been accepted to both, and plan on going to Hofstra if I get off the waitlist. But speaking as if I don't get off of it, should I go to Penn State or Drexel? I do like the idea of being in a city, and want to have research opportunities and as of now plan on going into Radiation oncology.

Thank you!

Md or md-phd?

Sorry, these are all for MD, I'm currently waitlisted for the PhD for all three

Both have strong preclinical and clinical years. Both have good amounts of research from what I could tell from interview days, although I don't think psu has a home RO program.

Drexel's radonc residency is supposed to be really sketchy. I'd look into that if I were you.

I'd go with psu based on the fact that drexel's school is not located near the hospital. Makes shadowing/feeling clinically involved difficult in the first 2 years imo.

Interviewed at both schools and preferred PSU as a school. Wasn't too fond of the location and the lack of diversity though. I think overall COA will also be cheaper at PSU due to lower living expenses. Good Luck with your decision!!
