Where To Apply
There is no valid ranking of health professional schools. Obtain information from the individual schools, talk to recent graduates, visit selected schools and ask pointed questions of faculty and students. Consider:
- Academic rigor of the program
- Clinical experience offered
- Availability of faculty and support services
- Cost and financial aid available
- Location and environment
For most students, it is impractical to apply to very large numbers of schools due to the expense.
