I applied to NOVA, ICO, Penn, Indiana, St. Louis and Southern Cali and have heard a few pros and cons for each school. Does anyone have a opinion about these schools? Where will you get a great clinical experience? Thanks.

I may be biased, but ICO has an amazing clinical program. You get observation hours right away your first quarter, and the facilities are technologically advanced and self-contained within the school.

😀 find out where you can get instate tuition and go there. no really. save money. all the programs you listed are great, so go where you (or your parents) will take on the least amount of debt. if money is not an issue (lucky you!) i'd vote for SCCO. the facilities are excellent, faculty/staff are great and you are 25 minutes from the beach 😀

yea student debt should be a huge factor on deciding where you go. 🙂

For best clinical...go to ICO, or PCO. I've talked to current students from ICO, SCCO, PCO, and USML, and the ones from ICO, and PCO said they got the most experience. ICO probably even more so then PCO. Why is this?....the community the clinics are located. In general; the more ghetto= better/diverse experiences (esp. with diseases).

Here's an old post on my two cents on SCCO (and Berkeley too):

Definitely go to the school that will be the cheapest for you. As for the clinical experiences, I don't know how people can say one school is better than another school without having attended both.
