Help Deciding Between Several DO Schools

[doctorCK]

Hi everyone! I am currently sitting on these acceptances:

• WesternU-COMP
• PCOM-PA
• TUCOM-CA
• AZCOM
• NSU-KPCOM
• LECOM-Seton Hill

Any recommendations on which school to pick? Which schools have good rotation sites and research opportunities? I'm from Southern California, but I don't mind moving to the East Coast. TIA!

PCOM is my vote.

For sure PCOM>>LECOM>>>>NSUCOM

Maybe:
I think my rank would be PCOM>AZCOM==TUCOM>=LECOM>NSUCOM

PCOM and it's not even close

If you don't mind moving, PCOM is the best of that list. Western is popular too since it allows a lot of Southern Californians to stay close to home.

Would not consider the other schools.

Thanks for the feedback y'all!

For the schools on the west coast, would be safe to say Western > TUCOM and AZCOM?

 

[chilly_md]

I would say so. It’s not a clear distinction so I’d opt for Western since it is closest and doesn’t have the high tuition of AZCOM (which students often say doesn’t get them back anything extra over other established DO schools)

AZCOM is f*cking $$$$.

WesternU COMP- current student, might have issues with rotation sites soon tbh given the number of med schools that are opening/opened up down here. WesternU does match well in Socal tho.

I picked WesternU over TUNCOM, im from the bay

From what I've seen PCOM is the best non state funded school. If you can I would go there.
