avi Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hey! Does anyone know if any of the New York Schools (Cornell, Hofstra, Touro, Downstate, St. Johns) are better than others? Meaning, when it comes to get my first job at a hospital/ doctor, does it look better coming from a specific school? Lastly, is Touro much worse than the others, or are they all basically equal? Lastly, I am looking to go into surgery, surgical PA, does that factor in at all?? thanks for all your help! Also i've looked around and there are many many varying opinions regarding school rankings in general, I am referring not just to the degree of difficulty, or how well the material is required, but rather specifically job related - does the school you went to dictate the initial job offers you will receive? THANKS AGAIN!! :) Sorry about the multiple postings, I didn't know where this question belonged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convulsed Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Cornell. Surgical PA? Cornell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convulsed Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Oh and lastly school names do matter in NYC. Hypothetically speaking, would you like to hire a person that went to your alma mater or someone fit for the job ? You'd be surprised at the hiring process!

Ms Chievious Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Does Hofstra University have a good reputation? I know that they JUST started offering a Masters to their graduating class of 2010. Also, their first time PANCE pass rates prior to that were sort of lackluster it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREATMDPA Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I don't know about Touro in NY but Touro in Nevada is crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paporzelt Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Stay away from touro. they have a horrible reputation after having lost their accreditation for a huge scandal involving helping student cheat on the PANCE. its the constant gossip among PA's and students on rotation. while All the touro students i met were smart and nice, they never got treated the same as the rest of us.

winterallsummer Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Thoughts on Pace University??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paporzelt Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Pace has a really good reputation. I didnt even get an interview though. It's pretty competitive. but when i applied they were still doing the freshman to PA program, where pace students who began as freshman already had secured seats in the class, making less seats available than other programs. im not sure if they still do that. St. john's, downstate, LIU, cornell - all the students i worked with on my rotations were all awesome. Stony brook out on Long Island too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lov2xlr8 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Don't forget SBU! Great program (I'm biased), awesome tuition, maybe the least expensive though I just rotated with a student from York and apparently they pay pay very little too. Most of us ended up moving out to Queens and Manhattan for second year as a lot of the rotations are located out there. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkcinderella7 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 What is people's opinions of Mercy- does it have a good rep in NY?? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResearchingPA Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Any thoughts about Wagner College vs Rochester Institute of Technology? RIT is moving to a combination BS/MS and is switching from a quarter system to a semester system. RIT is a bigger school with nicer facilities. Wagner is smaller and more personal and right ouside of NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
