Ragtag42 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I’ve been accepted to MCPHS Boston and Elon University. They are very different and I’m having such a hard time deciding. MCPHS: -100 students -30 months -start September 2019 -anatomy at Harvard Medical School in Boston -Cost: $132,000 Elon -38 students -24 months -start January 2020 (seems so far away) -central North Carolina -Cost: $90,000 Any input/options about either programs is greatly appreciated!!

You do realize that, even with the 4 month delay in starting at Elon, you'd still be done 2 months ahead of Boston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! This is my 3rd round of applying so the thought of waiting another year drives me nuts. I definitely won’t base my decision on it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT2PA Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 COST COST COST. Plus as already pointed out you'd still finish earlier with Elon. And if I'm not mistaken (if your 'cost' is just tuition), Elon is in NC and likely much cheaper living situation than Boston. Did I mention cost? And loan repayment? But also cost? And you could work 4 extra months to save up money. Do you see a trend here? Unless you absolutely want to be practicing in Boston...that's the only compelling point.

charlottew Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I also would pick the lower cost program. I'm familiar with mcphs, not with Elon. I still think Elon would be the better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtag42 Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Thank you guys! I’ve decided on attending Elon, in addition to the lower cost I think I would learn better with a smaller class size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
