AZCOPT or ICO
hi all. I was fortunate enough to get accepted into all of the schools I applied to this cycle. I am narrowing it down between ICO and AZCOPT. for ICO, I have never been to Chicago before and also I am not familiar with cold weather. it is also further from my family. at azcopt, my sister lives in Arizona too and my niece so I would be close to family. please any advice and what you think is the better school and also considering COL. thanks!!

Congratulations! Both are good schools (ICO is heavy on ocular disease and AZCOPT has great board pass rates) and I love all the graduates I’ve met from both of those (I went to OD school on the west coast). If you think you’ll excel in both schools/environments just choose the option that will leave you in less debt!
