Case western vs Ohio state graduate entry programs?

[red1986]

Hi everyone! I need to take a few pre reqs Spring 2020 and Summer 2020 to be able to start at either case western or OSU. My dilemma is time and money. Case westerns direct entry and then MSN for Psych NP program seems to be almost close to $200k if my math on tuition credits is correct. Ohio state seems to be significantly more affordable at $60k. But- how do these two programs compare? Is case really worth the cost? I’ve heard so many amazing things about the program and the clinical experience with both the amount of clinical hours you get and the hospitals like UH and the Cleveland clinic.  I could start at case this fall 2020, but with the pre reqs I need to finish for OSU I wouldn’t be able to start until Summer 2021 (not a huge deal, but could get done a bit quicker at case...) any insight or advice about which may be a better fit would be super helpful!

$200k is not worth it. Both nursing programs are highly rated and nobody would care which one you went to. There's really no way to justify the extra $140k in cost.
