I'm turning down my Marquette spot today so everyone on the waitlist will move one spot up! I'm torn between Vanderbilt (acute) and BC (peds). Anyone trying to decide between the same two?

I would have picked BC over MGH anyway so I'm fine with only getting into BC. My rationale on U of Rochester could be a little biased since they waitlisted me, but after the phone interview I had in the fall I would have been a little hesitant on accepting admission anyway. I didn't like how you had to interview twice, one with the bachelor's program and once with the master's. That was the only program that did it this way (that I applied to at least) and I found it to be a little odd that they would do it this way. I also didn't like that it was a 3 year program. If other programs can fit pre-licensure and the entire master's portion into 5 semesters, why wouldn't they have an accelerated way to do years 2-3 quicker? I'm not saying it's a bad program by any means, I just have found better programs that I think I would be happier pursuing instead. Hope that makes sense.

Ah awesome! Where do you go now? I'm at Loyola. I also applied to Vanderbilt but haven't heard anything. I'm still waiting to hear from Northeastern, Rush (my interview is on Wednesday), and will still probably apply to UIC even though we won't find out about that until May. In addition to my acceptances at Marquette and BC, I've heard no from MGH Institute and am on the waitlist for U of Rochester, but I'm really not a fan of their program anymore anyway. If you're seriously considering BC you should add me on facebook so we can talk more! find me with my email - [email protected]. If anyone else is considering BC please add or message me on facebook too as I'd love to talk about pros/cons, living situations, etc.

I just joined so I'm sorry if I'm repeating things that have already been talked about. I got my acceptance to Marquette on Feb 12 and acceptance to BC for peds on Feb 14. Definitely putting my money with BC over Marquette. I'm from Chicago and would love to meet anyone who thinks they're heading to BC!
