I agree, but for a private school, it has one of the cheapest tuition rates available. PCOM is an established school, near a major city, that has reasonable and significantly cheaper tuition rates compared to CCOM and NYITCOM and also RowanSOM (OOS.) I believe PCOM also takes 270 students and LECOM has 350 for PA campuses? CCOM only accepts 206 students.
I disagree.
PCOM rate of matriculation/applicants= 270/9596=
0.0281
CCOM rate of matriculation/applicants= 206/7871=
0.0262
RowanSOM rate of matriculation/applicants= 162/5442=
0.0298
LECOM-PA rate of matriculation/applicants= 350/8526=
0.0411
This means that CCOM is actually harder by simple percent yield to get into than PCOM. Even RowanSOM is similar with far less matriculants AND has an in-state bias. One could argue that RowanSOM for OOS is even more difficult than PCOM.
If CCOM had its tuition to be equal to that of PCOM's, I would definitely see an application number on par with PCOM.
