Career-changer friendly: At 200 required patient care hours, this is one of the lower bars in the country, worth a look if you are switching fields and building hours while you apply.
Longer runway: At 32 months, this is a longer program than average. Check whether the extra time buys a dual degree, a bridge/undergraduate component, or additional clinical time.
Higher cost: In-state tuition of $166,880 is in the most expensive quarter nationally. Worth weighing against your expected starting salary and loan burden.
