I'm not sure if there is an advantage or not, but it can't hurt. I just figured I might as well go to one because it is pretty close. It is about 3 hours from school for me, but it is only about 1 hour from my house. So I'm gonna drive home Thursday morning and spend the day there, then go up to Lecom for the open house. It can't hurt to meet some of the people who might have some say in deciding if you get in or not, plus you do get to learn about their school, and financial aid for pharmacy school. So its worth it for me to go, but if it was farther away I probably wouldnt go.
