Can anyone shed some lights on which is more important - board scores vs. quality of rotation sites?

I'm trying to choose between AZCOM (stronger board scores) and NSU (stronger rotation sites..from what I've heard).

Thanks!!

I would say that rotation sites are by far more important. Your board score is pretty much up to you. You can work your ass of and get whatever score you are capable of.

Board scores are more important to residencies. Like another poster said though - just because a school has higher board scores, there is no guarantee that you will score higher.

Same type of thing with LECOM-B. They have superior board scores/PBL but only mediocre rotation sites. I'm not too sure how much of a negative that is though.

I would definitely choose the stronger clinical rotation sites. Board scores is pretty individual unless the school's curriculum totally sucks or is a bad match to your learning style.
