Just received acceptance from PCOM this afternoon. I am a NJ resident so ROWANSOM is good for the tuition but PCOM just feels like the right choice.

Any pros/cons for either?

Can't go wrong with either. ROWANSON is cheaper I think (I am not sure). I would chose that personally cause I have ton of family in New Jersey in which I could just live with them for 4 years and pay rent for their guest bedroom if necessary, etc. I also live closer to ROWANSON than PCOM despite going to undergrad in proximity with PCOM

How is your family/undergrad's proximity a pro or con for OP? Address his/her question next time.

Cheaper tuition(ROWAN) since both schools are on par and will give you a quality education. However, I heard PCOM has their own residency affiliation. That might be a good thing if you are interested in something ultra competitive like ortho.

They're both fine. Id go with rowen because it's cheaper.

Idk what the poster two above means by that. I'm sure Rowan has a very well developed and well backed OPTI as a public school. If it were me, I'd be taking my IS public school. No contest. No PCOM hate though, that's a very good school too.
