Remember what I said about LUCOM not being for everyone? LUCOM gets an abnormally high percentage of married students because of this. If you don't like it, then you may not be the type of student to whom they are catering.
Is it "fair?" Honestly? No. But what is "fair?" That is a relative term.
If you look at my posts in this thread, I would think I've been very objective. I'm telling what I know of the school from my firsthand experience. This school will NOT be a good fit for every student. And as I said before, that's ENTIRELY ok.
If you are a student that is accepted into more than one school, you should go to the school that you feel is the best fit. If you are only accepted into one school, on top of being luckier than the vast number of applicants overall, your decision is much easier.
I am not advocating this school over all schools. I am advocating the advantages of this school versus other schools. Or telling about parts of the school that were a good fit for ME. I applied very broadly because
1) I can.
2) I wanted to make sure I didn't go to A medical school, I went to the school that was best for ME.
If aspects of this school do not appeal to you, then don't apply.
If you simply want to bash the school based on stats, then your argument is not particularly valid. I'm sure
@DoctorSynthesis will trot out his 20 year old paper on how MCAT correlates to board scores. And perhaps it does. But tell me, how many of you have WORKED in a hospital with physicians? How many of you that have can tell me what their board scores are?
Go ahead and tell me. I'll wait.
Ok. Now that that's over. What matters is this school WILL graduate physicians. Some of them will be good physicians. Some will undoubtedly be mediocre. I'd say that's par for the course for most any school since stats don't make the physician. There is SO much more to being an actual licensed healthcare practitioner than board scores. There's book knowledge, there's an ability to think clinically. There's bedside manner. There's aptitude for business. There's an ability to handle working conditions that are stressful. There's time management. There's familiarity with EMR systems.
There is far more to making a good doctor than having the best score on A test or the best GPA. After all, most of us are qualified for medical school, yet only a small percentage of us get in. What separates those of us that get in from those that do not?
There's always more to the picture.
