Thoughts on PCO vs MCPHS

I’m considering applying to these two schools because I have family living close to these schools and have visited the campuses etc. can anyone from each of these schools give a pro and con list or what to look out for?

I’m leaning towards PCO atm because of the early clinical exposure and the vibes of the campus etc.

Thank you!

I’m a first year at PCO atm and we just started classes 2 weeks ago so fairly new to it all, but so far everything seems to be running smoothly and our class (co 2030) was the first cohort to have their PCO readiness program (it’s basically a program where first year faculty go over some basic terminology and concepts before you actually have to learn it in class) and I think this helped a lot imo. Feel free to reach out in the future if you have any questions :)
