I found this link recently and was surprised that LECOM Bradenton was ranked #1 in terms of the highest percentage for First Time Pass rates for the COMLEX Level 1. Let me know what you think?
Data from that long ago is, well, stale.I found this link recently and was surprised that LECOM Bradenton was ranked #1 in terms of the highest percentage for First Time Pass rates for the COMLEX Level 1. Let me know what you think?
Obviously we can't get a complete picture but judging from the pass percentage trends over the years where do you believe LECOM Bradenton sits in the ranking now?Data from that long ago is, well, stale.
Haven't a clue. Ask their current students. They've probably heard inklings.Obviously we can't get a complete picture but judging from the pass percentage trends over the years where do you believe LECOM Bradenton sits in the ranking now?
LECOM-B 2019 grad here. Yes that sounds accurate. The admin really prided themselves over their pass rate and average comlex and USMLE scores.
Thanks for the response. I was just curious because there are many people hounding the PBL learning format. But those numbers show that the PBL format does indeed work very very well. If you don't, where did you get the USLME data from? I couldn't find it any where on their web page.
Not really just shows that it works just as well as the traditional format. The pass rate is not the same as the score. If LECOM-B had scores above the national average consistently, then it would be a different story, ultimately it is whatever works best for you as a student go with thatThanks for the response.

Basically came here to say this. Your ability to pass boards has a lot more to do with the individual. I think people who want to do PBL are probably more motivated than the average student. So in a way, the school selects people very well for these results.The best way to think about this is- who cares? People who didn't pass when I was in school were either those who spent too much time texting, at the bar or hosting house parties. They were constantly cramming last minute in the first years and were holding on by a thread. I am not saying these people deserved to fail, just that they probably had it coming. There was one guy who legit failed because he just couldnt get it, he then failed COMLEX 2 first time....and STILL ended up graduating in our class.
These first pass stats mean little to nothing to the individual. Work hard, study from DAY ONE and you'll be fine.
