Baptist University vs KansasCOM vs LMUDCOM

[bigblubba]

trying to weigh my options before putting in deposit. any help and feedback would be great. Both are OOS for me. KansasCOM is 10 hrs away driving and baptist is 8 hrs away. I dont know what i want to do but i dont want to limit myself, so which ever school will allow me to get a competitive residency. there might be a few more pros or cons but these are the ones i can remember right now. if anyone has anything to add please let me know.

KansasCOM

pros:

• still new but a bit older (oldest class is 3rd years now)
• wichita cheaper to live
• lectures not mandatory (this seems huge)
• P/F

cons:

• slight more expensive: 58k year
• kinda of the middle of no where
• rotations seem weaker
• board pass rate 74%

BUCOM

pros:

• the school is in the medical district, surrounded by hospitals
• Clinical hasn’t happened yet, but the sites look very promising
• connected to Baptist health systems which has their own residency
• may have more opportunities for clinical research
• I think I might prefer Memphis over wichita
• affiliated residencys in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Radiology, and General Surgery.
• slight cheaper (52K year)

cons:

• mandatory lectures
• graded (no P/F)
• new school with no scores or match list, inaugural class was last year so ill be second year.

i think the P/F is hue as well as non-mandatory lectures. although BUCOM is not totally mandatory from what i've heard. although kansasCOM does have board pass rates since they're a few years newer, their numbers aren't great. their strength basically lies in the P/F imo. BUCOM's massive strength is the rotations and affiliated hospitals. that's massive for any school, let alone a DO. their weakness is graded curriculum, and no boards data.
