hi. i applied to the valley and was accepted and then was offered an interview at st e's. i only went because it was good interviewing experience. i had basically made my mind up that i wanted to go to the valley until the interview at st. e's. they were awesome! i felt at home and was totally comfortable. i am now confused about which school is better. i know a lot of grads from the valley, but none from st. e's.

can anyone help with advise on their experiences going to either school? thanks

I'll be at the Valley starting August 2009.....I know at least 6 people who attended and didn't have any complaints about the program.

All are practicing successful anesthesia.

So, maybe I'll see you there.

Good Luck with your decision, I completely understand how hard it is.

can you elaborate more on why that is your opinion? also, i interviewed at pitt today and was totally blown away by the clinical experience offered. now i am three times as confused! this is such a huge decision and there are so many pros and cons to each program. i know many grads from both pitt and the valley, but how do you decide which one is better? i have heard that the valley lacks in peds and ob. what do you think?

Thank you very much for you PM. I left a visitor message on your page because I can not PM yet. Thanks again I think I got the feeling that one school would be worse just from the interview, but your experience and others have helped make a difficult decision easy. Pitt all the way!

:yeah:

Good luck with your interview! Sorry I can't help you> Could you please post after your interview how was the interview. What was your GRE and GPA. Do you have your CCRN?
