NSU-KPCOM
Pros
LECOM Erie
Pros
ACOM
Pros
Summary: NSU-KPCOM is in a great location, but I'm not sure if I would get as good of an education there or if it would set me up to do well on step exams. LECOM is close to home, but I have always heard the school is archaic in their policies and is not very supportive. I honestly haven't heard much about ACOM, but I'm not sure I want to be in rural Alabama for 2 years.
Any input or advice is appreciated thanks!!!
Pros
- Good location
- Match well into competitive specialties
- Lectures are not mandatory
- Lower comlex pass rates(?)
- Heard bad things about admin (not sure if this is still a thing)
- No cadaver lab (also not 100% sure if this is true)
LECOM Erie
Pros
- Got accepted into LDP pathway
- Close to home
- Match well and have high board pass rates
- Living in Erie
- VERY strict rules
- School does not really provide any support for taking step exams (at least this is what I've heard)
- Rotation locations seem to not be great and it's tough to get preferred spot in bigger city
- Not many research opportunities
ACOM
Pros
- High pass rates
- Match relatively well
- Living in rural Alabama
- Mandatory attendance (very strict about it)
- Faculty isn't super helpful (?)
