BCOM is named after Dan Burrell, a very wealthy businessman in New Mexico, I was trying to look up his net worth, but the guy is very rich, anyway, the thing that makes me not recommend schools like CUSOM and LUCOM are their ties to religion, people say CUSOM is not religious but I read their mission statement and religious references are in the mission statement. I believe universities should be secular institutions and should be places where religion is a neutral issue, we live in a time where people have many different faiths and beliefs, and also many people who do not hold on to any particular beliefs so I believe such institutions have more credibility in my eyes when they have no such affiliation.
This is not saying I am against religion, because I am not, I just believe that religion should remain separate from certain entities, and in particular educational and business entities, and certainly the government as well.
What really matters in medical school are rotations. Everyone will get a good education and it is how you make it. In the end, we pass boards and go onto residencies.
