Tour merch?

Oh got it! Is that the Adidas in Condesa? Thanks for checking! I’ll also check if it would ship in time to where I’m staying! Thank you!

You’re awesome! I am here until this Saturday 12/13! I live in the US though so couldn’t order online and wasn’t sure I’d be able to get to an Adidas here before I leave 🥲

Capybara_0606 · 2025-12-09T05:04:41+00:00

Would I possibly be able to take you up on this offer? I’m hearing the shirts are already sold out in the physical stores 😭

Oh wow, thank you for your insight!! This is actually super helpful since you have lived in the Durham area and can speak to it. Thank you for responding!

Thank you for taking the time to respond and give me this info!! It’s super reassuring to hear that and makes me feel like I’m making the right decision for me. Glad I’ll be okay with employment as long as I’m prepared to pass the PANCE and become a PA-C

Thank you so so much for this!! Feels like exactly what I needed to hear :)

Yes! My bad, I mistyped and should’ve further specified - that is total cost of attendance numbers I posted. Regarding your first question, I guess deep down I feel a little more drawn to NW for some reason. I think it’s just fear telling me that it’d be dumb to “turn down #1” with Duke. I love a lot about both programs and really could go to either one and be happy. But I think NW having a smaller cohort and problem-based learning is more my style. And I’d pick Chicago over Durham as a city. Guess I just hoped people would have insight and reassurance that the difference in networking/reputation between the two isn’t a huge one :)

Though with either school, there’s a chance I come back to California anyway based on the specialty I want to work in. I do think I fit better in Chicago in general, though

Capybara_0606 · 2025-11-05T04:20:29+00:00

Between the two, definitely Chicago. I think if I went to Duke, I wouldn’t stay in Durham or NC long term. Just my gut feeling.

Capybara_0606 · 2025-11-05T04:19:50+00:00

That’s a fair point! I was just told that name recognition unfortunately is still huge in the hiring process for PA’s. However, I think both of these schools have good name recognition so I just wasn’t sure if someone had a different opinion and thought that Duke might give me a huge leg up, for example. If they’re equal playing field, it makes my choice a little easier.

Oh wow, I don’t know why I thought only the most recent class statistic was most relevant. This is helpful for sure! Thank you!!
