Recently got accepted to VCU and ODU for their DPT programs (yay!)
But I'm very torn as to which I should go to. I'm from the area where ODU is and love it. It's where I grew up and I have family there so I already know I love it. My sister lives in Richmond so I'm a little familiar with it. I know VCU has a bit of a better reputation is seems, and a lot of people at my school say I should go there. But I think both are great schools and I don't think I would end up with a bad education either way. The end result is the same. So I'm pretty equally torn between the two and need to decide really soon. If anybody could maybe tell me if they decided to go to one or the other and what ultimately made their decision! I could use the advice.

Thanks!

You just answered your own question. You would get in-state tuition either way. I applied to both and got rejected by both. I would've gone to either school. You'll take the same board exam at the end.
 
If you don't mind, can I ask you what were your stats? I have applied to VCU and ODU and other schools and VCU or ODU is my top priority. Hopefully I will get into at least one of them.
