Thus far, I've been accepted to UNE, NOVA, and Western. I have no idea where to go and have a deposit due date coming up. I would love if anyone could offer me some advice on how I should be making a decision. So if anyone has decided to go to any of these schools, could you tell me why u decided to go there? thanks!! 🙂
 
Well, first, would you hate or love any of their locations? They're all pretty different, S.CA, Maine, and Florida. Then, maybe move on to teaching methods (PBL, etc). If one works better than another, choose that one. If they are the same, then go with financials. Did one give better aid? How about cost of living? Are you going alone, or with a spouse? What area works better for them? If that doesn't help, do with residency match lists. Personally, a drawback for UNE, to me, is that it's a crapshoot where your clinicals will be. There is a chance you'll end up in another state, which is a hassle, and I hate S. CA, so I would choose Florida, unless there was an exceptional financial benefit for one of the others.

I agree. Pick your school with respect to where you want to live, cost, and curriculum.
