Please note, these are my feelings. Everyone has their own opinion about each school... ICO has one of the best clinical programs in the country. They have a very large and diverse urban population which gives you the opportunity to see a lot of pathology. I also liked that ICO has classes about practice management and getting into private practice. They have one of the largest class sizes (whether or not someone sees this as an asset... I don't know) which makes for a very diverse experience because of all of the different backgrounds. I work for an ICO grad, and if his success (4 offices, going on 5, graduated in 1998) is any reflection on the school, ICO is an excellent choice!
Note: In the interest of full disclousure I have to say that although I applied and was accepted to ICO, I will be attending Pacific, mostly because of the cost if I get WICHE and the close proximity to my husband, who will remain in Nevada when I go to school.
