I agree. When I was applying, my #1 osteo choice was DMU. After interviewing, it was obviously not a good fit for me and went to dead last. I withdrew from consideration. And UNE went from near bottom straight to #1 at my interview.
The "best" school is one that fits you. Your lifestyle, your personality, your learning style. If you're a city person, being in Kirksville is going to make you depressed and miserable. And if you're a country person, NYCOM will drive you insane.
It's just not that easy to say "this one" or "that one" is best. "Best" is very subjective.

PCOM is clearly the top osteopathic school. No one will refute that. And those who do, look at the school they go to. Its often a "small market" school or one of the new kids on the block.
But there are still some other very strong schools:
MSUCOM, NYCOM, CCOM, OUCOM
Look for schools affiliated with large Universities or are in large metropolitan areas...and have graduated more than 20 classes.

And I miss you everyday because of this.....WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
BTW, why don't people use the damn search function? This topic has been discussed I think everyday since this site has been up.
This is a tough question and depends solely on the individual. For me, I interviewed at UNECOM, PCOM, Midwestern (CCOM), and DMU, and to me, DMU had the best facilities and had the best environment. A bonus is that in a big city of half a million, being the only medical school gives more opportunity for rotations and more interaction with doctors.

About the second day after you begin classes...the things you will not notice are A)the scenery B)the facilities (unless there are big problems such as not enough room or not enough Tv's to see lecture). Half a million is also not a big city. The other thing I have learned is no matter how nice the anatomy lab is, after day 2 you will notice nothing other than the smell and the actual body you are working on
After the second day of class you no longer notice the facilities? That seems a little odd. I guess if you completely stopped going to class and lab........About the second day after you begin classes...the things you will not notice are A)the scenery B)the facilities (unless there are big problems such as not enough room or not enough Tv's to see lecture).

Umm. Where did you get that list?
PCOM is clearly the top osteopathic school.
MSUCOM, NYCOM, CCOM, OUCOM
i would have to agree... mostly based on the HUGE amount of alumni connections, as the school has been around so long. plus, if you want to do gsurg, and don't have the scores to go MD, it is probably the best osteo gsurg program in the country.
Has there ever been an official ranking strictly of DO schools?

At any rate, it's nice to see I have a shot at two of the more esteemed ones!
I guess there's not one good answer, but TCOM's admission stats are pretty solid. Average matriculant MCAT is 28 and GPA 3.4, not too shabby.
Perhaps, but its in Texas.

CCOM has a good match list too.

Let me know if you're interviewing at PCOM... I'd be more than happy to show you around...
