SpcDlo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Any insight from former students at either school would be GREAT!! (Or someone that knows both programs well) I have been accepted at both schools and need some help to make a decision... I would really like to go to Touro-NV as I feel it would be a better fit for me, a good program from what I hear AND it's in freaking Las Vegas!! BUT, I have been awarded a full scholarship at Texas Tech (NO TUITION AND FEES = $avings of 50 - 60k) and it's in the middle of nowhere (Midland, Tx). :=-0: Anyway, I having a hard time in making a decision so if someone can share some insight into both the programs, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LESH Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 You have an opportunity to go to PA school on almost a free ride? Wow that's a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taotaox1 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Dude, do yourself a favor and go to school for free and use all the saved money to go on 10 $5k vactions or buy 2 nice new cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator True Anomaly Posted February 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2012 Agree with above- if you're enough of a self-motivator to have gotten a FULL RIDE to a PA program, then whatever shortcomings the PA program has you'll be able to overcome with your self-directed learning. Take the financial worry out of PA school and go for the full ride! If it helps any, I went to PA school in Texas (UNT), and the students and alumni I knew from Tech were perfectly fine.

chiaroscuro27 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'll echo the above. You've got Texas Tech willing to foot the bill...that's wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Out of curiosity, how did you get a full ride scholarship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpcDlo Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Wow you guys are awesome, thanks for all your advice! You guys have a valid point. I am leaning towards Tech but I think I will go to both schools and just meet with a few current students and see how they truly feel about their programs. Anyway, thanks to everyone that replied! Wutthechris: It is a state funded program called the "Hazelwood Act", available only to military veterans that served after 9/11 (only in Texas) as of now i believe. Hope this helps!

sealer04tx Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hey - congrats on the options! A scholarship is a big deal, as others have said. If it helps, here's an interview I did with a Tech PA-S http://prephysicianassistantblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/pa-s-interview.html Good luck!
