Is there any outside resource that has compared Osteopathic medical schools? Aside from there literature, how can one actually compare the different schools?
 
visit them. talk to people that are attending that particular school.
 
Go here:
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/beyond/grad/gradmed.htm

Enter the names of the schools you wish to view and it will bring up a spreadsheet with important information.
You can also check the entire usnews site for info on the schools.
Other than that, go to open houses, talk to students, and talk to alumni of the schools you are interested in. I have done this and found it to be better than the numbers I see on paper.

Good Luck.
