Hi - Feel fortunate to have acceptance from Western (Lebanon) and PNWU (Yakima) and frankly am torn between the two. Can you please share especially if you experienced the same and know about the schools.

Many thanks

Which one is the school where a nurse will teach you surgery? Yah... I think Western might be a better choice.

I feel like your input would be appreciated. I liked my interview at PNWU and I feel like it has potential.

Western has plenty of warts, but I think our rotations are ok it seems.

PNWU, without a doubt.

PNWU has potential, but Western has kinetic.

PNWU has potential, but Western has kinetic.

Agreed, which is why I chose the way I did.

My thoughts are not going to change anyone's opinion. Choose what you will.

Lol exactly. That is why I haven't made a pro/con list for COMP-NW because in all honesty, it's not going to change anyone's mind. Just make a decision and hope it turned out well for you down the line. It all comes down to a leap of faith sometimes. There will be people who love their school, those who hate it, and those who don't care either way. If you're having a hard time, go take a second look at both schools. You're going to spend 2 years there so don't base it off the advice of strangers. You're going to be a doctor regardless, and it's the end result that matters.

PNWU. Simply because I am an alternate at Western. 😀

I was accepted to both schools and I'm choosing Western. I think I would be happy at either school but Western is close to my home and just seemed like a good fit.
