WesternU or UCSD
Hi! I am applying this cycle, and I was really struggling between WesternU and UCSD. Here's my pros and cons list for both, and I was hoping for more internal insight about the program or opinions in general!! Thank you :D
UCSD
Pros:
- cheaper
- great location
- good naplex
-#6 in the nation and good prestige/name in general
- ive done a pharmacy internship in sd and so i have connections w people already
- i get to rent and live near friends!! ( socially, a pro)
Cons:
- would have to rent (financially, a con)
- P2 consists of med school classes T-T
- 4 year program (nothing wrong with it, i just want to finish early lol)
- i have to take a human physio lab... (western not required)
Western
Pros:
-commute from home (financially, a pro)
-3.5 year program and block schedule (i love this)
- good naplex
Cons:
-living at home, i would get distracted, and i've started to prefer to live away from my family
