I'd pick Quinnipiac between the two. Similar match list, smaller class size, and $40K less than SUNY (which equates to much more in interest if you are taking out loans). Newer facilities, cheaper cost of living, 6-week optional pre-matriculation classes, teaching focused staff, research options at Yale. Maybe newer med school, but rapidly rising reputation (their PA program is in the top 5 in the country if that matters). https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-health-schools/physician-assistant-rankings

Are you a NYS resident? What's the COA for each? What are you personal pro's and con's? There is a lot of factors involved.
