Hi, I've Never posted on SD Network. usually dont because you all stress me out, but I need some help. I got into UNECOM and AT Still Kirksville and I have to put a deposit down by the 1/10/12 and I can not decide.
Here are my thoughts on UNECOM: I live in New england so UNE is convenient and is in the area I would like to practice some day. UNE also has a good reputation and I have several really talented friends that went there. However, I am worried about some of the issues with Administration, new curriculum not being so good, poor board pass rates in the past and it seems like they are not giving students enough time to prepare for boards. My friends who go there say: I love the school, I got a great education but I dont like to be on campus and I dont like the administration and some of the changes have been bad for students. Not impressed with interview day.
On AT Still: They give grades as a % not a pass/fail. if you average an 87% in a class you get an 87 on your transcript. They have the highest board pass rate of 98%. Students are driven but exhausted. They are the oldest DO school. It is way over in missouri and it sucks to get there and back from new england. their residencies are not in new england either for the most part. really impressed with who i met and what I saw on my interview, but who knows what reality is.
