I have noticed most people in here tell pre med students to check if the schools are LCME accredited.

Boston University is accredited by ACCME not LCME.

What are the difference? Why is LCME is better?

BU is LCME accredited. http://lcme.org/directory/accredited-u-s-programs/
The ACGME reviews post graduate medical training, not medical schools.
