Any members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints attend LUCOM? I ask because I get the impression that they may be pretty discriminatory against members of our faith.

I can't recommend LUCOM, period.

They take BYU students. My old anatomy TA went there. Don't go to LUCOM, you can do better.

LUCOM has students of all faiths and no faith. I know several former BYU students.

Why should I not go? What do you know?

Why is that? What makes it so bad?

: I have a profound distaste for the politics of their parent organization; they’re disingenuous about whether their strict lifestyle rules apply to medical students (they do); and their Faculty make blatant attempts to twist facts to match their theology. In the midst of the COVID19 pandemic, Liberty president Jerry Falwell Jr insisted that the campus stay open! This was in violation of state law.

From the wise gyngyn: Liberty is poorly regarded due to the history of intolerance of their founding fathers. This school's reputation for intolerance puts its grads at a disadvantage at many reputable residency programs.

And speaking of intolerance, Jerry Falwell's ilk of Southern Baptists do not consider LDS members to be "real" Christians. I've lived in VA, so I know of what I speak.

I think they are a weak medical school, and it's far more worth your while to go to an established one.

Local news website. No cases from LU are being reported from the VDH either. It would be all over our local news if it were true.

Sounds like a reasonable leadership there.
