What are your pros/cons? On school reputation alone, I would probably say Western U-Pomona, but it is only a marginal difference. When it comes to D.O. schools, there is no "prestige" attached to any particular school, so you would have to go with the one that has the best match opportunities, closest to home, cheapest, etc.

I visited Touro CA, students seem nice, and they generally have a higher matriculation MCAT + GPA than some other DO schools, however IMO their match list is not as impressive as Western, and their rotations seem to be worse.


With that being said, I would go MD>>>>>> Western>AZCOM>Touro
