So, just out of curiosity... what DO school is the best? I know each person will say their school is the best but which one is the Harvard of DO schools?

raptor5 said:Define Best! And are we talking best for you? Best as far as premed grades and MCATs, Best Board scores, Best price, Best weather, Best OMM, Best Profs. I hate to inflate OSUdoc08s ego (at least I am showing you some love)but I would have to put OSU at the top followed by TCOM, then PCOM/KCOM/CCOM. Last 3 tied for 3rd. By the way I go to PCOM.

Mine is better than yours.
1st MSU (even though the location sucks)
2nd... 3rd... etc... all the others

raptor5 said:Maybe in TX in OK but in PA the state med schools (Temple and Penn State) are not that much cheaper or any better than PCOM. Otherwise I agree with you. Plus state subsidies also mean some oversight which some of the other DO schools need.
crys20 said:I don't think there is a "harvard" of DO schools like there is among allo schools. When you have so few schools most are about the same I think; although there are some that are better and some that are worse for sure.
Look at things that matter to YOU; location, cost, match list, curriculum, clinical clerkships etc on school websites then decide what the best school for you is.
My personal vote is AZCOM b/c I love phoenix (and a few other reasons )

Asking which DO school is best is like asking what type of diarrhea is best. They're all ****ty, and you wouldn't want to have any of them.

Can you trust their ranking methods? Here's the current perspective:
You SHOULD NOT trust their rankings if they gave a poor ranking to your prospective or current medical school. (I mean, c'mon--Harvard, Mayo, Johns Hopkins?! Great schools?? Who's even heard of these places??)
You SHOULD trust them if they happened to rank your school very high.
Personally, I think their ranking system is reliable. And don't worry about my bias, I'm hoping to go to DMU. Wait---DMU isn't ranked??? Nevermind...US News magazine is clearly directed by Skeletor....
Can't argue here, comfort level is the most important factor. Go where you think will fit you best. If you're not comfortable at the school how well will you perform. Whether that includes financial situation or location due to family/friends your stress level will be high, so go choose a school that won't raise your stress even higher.Taus said:This is the official battle of "Who Gives A ****"
If you're choosing your med school based on prestige or to impress people, go to Harvard/Hopkins/Mayo/etc.
If you want to be a good, competant doctor, go to whatever school you feel comfortable at (DO or MD) and work your a$s off.

maybe...but part of the reason i came here was to get away from the city for 2 yearsOSUdoc08 said:If you are completely oblivious to the surroundings, then KCOM is an excellent school.
I've been to Kirksville once, and I'd never go there again.
Don't you sometimes wish you could pick up the school and move it to a major city?
