I’m very thankful to already have two acceptances this early. I’d like to start narrowing things down as soon as I can. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on which program might be a better choice.

NoordaCOM
Pros:

• Good match list for their first class
• Dream location for me
• The facilities are modern
• Faculty and student relationships seem really positive from the students I have spoken to
• Research seems to be much more emphasized here, which is important to me
• The pod-based learning style fits my learning style well.

Cons:

• No federal loans
• Not as established, pass rates could be improved
• For profit

PNWU
Pros:

• More established
• Federal loans
• Pass/Fail
• Focus on rural medicine, which does interest me
• Had great interactions with faculty already
• Cost of living on the lower end

Cons:

• Research opportunities seem limited
• Location leaves something to be desired for me
• Pass rates seem a little low (maybe I am not taking something into account there)

PNWU for being more established, P/F and with access to loans.

Can’t beat having federal loans!
