I see this everywhere...yet no one can name me a low tier MD school
Seriously? Off the top of my head: Drexel, Rosalind Franklin, CNU, Loyola..... there are lots of low tier MD schools.

Those are low yield medical schools. Loyola gets 14000+ applicationsSeriously? Off the top of my head: Drexel, Rosalind Franklin, CNU, Loyola..... there are lots of low tier MD schools.

Eh, in my eyes, these MD schools are looking for something different (service). Nothing wrong with thatThat has nothing to do with their tier level.

Says Mr. HarvardStill doesn’t change the tier level bro
You poor lost creature. Its about making you feel better, not me.If it makes you feel better, I wish I was at a higher ranked MD school. Just to recap, there's nothing wrong with going DO and those schools make good doctors. I just think that they serve a purpose, and I wouldn't fit in there. Better?
You’re implying that Drexel, RFU, and Loyola are bottom of the barrel medical schools...which is so ridiculously inaccurate. No comment on CNU thoughSeriously? Off the top of my head: Drexel, Rosalind Franklin, CNU, Loyola..... there are lots of low tier MD schools.

Wow.... you all have a seriously skewed misunderstanding of what a tier is lol. There is no such thing as a “bottom of the barrel” medical school (MD) in the US, but there are definitely tiers that exist. There is literally no disputing this.
heads up, your old statements are still quoted in this post.Would appreciate if you'd delete this, I was catastrophizing and entirely wrong. I'm very happy with where I'm at these days
Just wait until the reality of med school hits you and you realize that you really are at a disadvantage. I too was bright and starry eyed when I was set to begin my MS1 year, but I can tell you that unless you're one of those people who drinks in the DO koolaid you'll be singing a slightly different tune in about 10-11 months. Not all that glitters is gold incoming MS1'sStarting at GA-PCOM in a month. I feel amazing. I'm going to be a doctor.
MD? DO? Who really cares? All I wanted was to be a physician and its finally happening.
I have never been happier in my life.
Can you elaborate why DOs are at a disadvantage?Just wait until the reality of med school hits you and you realize that you really are at a disadvantage.

While I do agree with you about MD tier, most people are referring to tier in the sense of difficulty getting admitted stats wise. Also I would never make a statement " There is literally no disputing this" that's just bad practice.
I was accepted MDAnd yes, even with that definition there are still low tier MD schools. It is literally non-disputable. That is a fact. There are some things that are facts, and it is completely acceptable to say that. I don't know how you can have an issue with that.
OP I want to point out that not a single one of the above posters is a DO student. It's a bunch of pre-meds who haven't even moved to their respective campuses yet. They still have on the goggles.
Well one advantage we do have is you won't be amongst our ranks lolzCan you elaborate why DOs are at a disadvantage?
Are you DO or MD?Well one advantage we do have is you won't be amongst our ranks lolz
I was accepted MD

I'm not a pre med homeskilletAre you DO or MD?
Then who are you?I'm not a pre med homeskillet
Speak for yourself sweetheart.
Then who are you?
I rest my caseOne of the only actual medical students in this thread.
I rest my case
I'll stop being salty hereWhat are you even going on about? What case? You aren't even making sense lol
You have no case...keep telling yourself how much more accomplished you are I'm sure your colleagues won't think you're exhausting!I rest my case
I rest my case
I definitely will be hitting you guys up in a year or two. But for now, I'll stay positive about my chances.Lol at all you pre-meds. You guys have no clue about what's in store for you. Someday you'll come begging for advice from people like Ram and I who are placing ourselves in very good positions to match very successfully.

LECOM-E is certainly not "top tier." I give them mid tier.I beg to differ. PCOM and LECOM-Erie are definitely hot
Wow.... you all have a seriously skewed misunderstanding of what a tier is lol. There is no such thing as a “bottom of the barrel” medical school (MD) in the US, but there are definitely tiers that exist. There is literally no disputing this.
Tiers? that's so....USN&WR. These are only important to ignorant, status-obsessed pre-meds (and med school deans).While I do agree with you about MD tier, most people are referring to tier in the sense of difficulty getting admitted stats wise. Also I would never make a statement " There is literally no disputing this" that's just bad practice.
I'm curious as to what sort of circumstances could lead someone with stats better than the average MD accepted student to wind up going to a DO program?3.96GPA, in the 80th percent MCAT, ridiculously excited at the opportunity to attend a DO school. If circumstances differed, would have I applied MD? Absolutely. Am I upset that this is the way the cards got dealt? Absolutely not. Don’t listen to these internet haters. Find your passion and goal, and pursue it.
I think it's better to cluster MD schools into classes, like USN battleships and cruisers. Thus I bin schools into, say, NYU class schools, and Drexel/Albany class schools. One will get a fine education at any of them....from JA Burns to Harvard, from U WA to U Miami.

Wow. And with that I’ll take my leave. May we never meet again for residencySo..... Tiers.....
I DREADED in fear of the idea of me going to LECOM, but then I got accepted MD. In all honesty, anyone can get into a DO school if they put in marginal effort. A lot of people at my interview were so stupid. One girl didn't even study for the MCAT. I failed my interview and they accepted me lol. The schools bring in a level of mediocrity MD schools don't tolerate
I don’t
I’m petty and I’m proud!
Wow. And with that I’ll take my leave. May we never meet again for residency
I don't think most people are on here to set tiers for schools based on quality. I usually reference tiers in regards to the level of stats one would need to be competitive at certain schools.
Some people in this thread are immature while others are just plain bitter. Blanket stating something as unarguable is just poor logic and a sign of a closed mind. I mean lets be realistic and objective but don't be obtuse.
I'm not here to pretend like there isn't a difference between MD/DO. I will take whatever I have earned and whichever opportunity is given to me. Don't be so bitter guys/ girls you are getting a education to become a physician, make the most of it you are blessed and will be successful in life even if your not working plastics in Beverly Hills.
Dude what are you even talking about, Goro literally just described tiers. "may we never meet again for residency" Maybe try not to get railroaded by anatomy before you start riding the high horse lol. None of what I said is even controversial. I never described anything like USNews rankings like Goro tried to make it seem like I did.
I repeat, someday you will be begging someone like me for advice. Hopefully you will have grown a bit by then.
lol, so naive. And I haven't even said anything in this thread that is controversial, or even bitter. Cold truth can be irritating sometimes I guess.
I have no idea why you seem to think that there aren't tiers of medical school. They exist. Fact. Get over it. Me stating as such is not poor logic or a "sign of a closed mind." The sky is blue, its unarguable. Tiers of medical school exist, also unarguable. I never said anything about tiers based on quality, you created that strawman on your own.
The funniest part of you guys trying to make me out the bad guy is that I love my school lol
And then banhammer came alongThis thread had a great start and then got twisted.
Not gloating, but I thank the mods for cleaning up the thread!And then banhammer came along
