Okay, I know that there have been others like this, but mine is a little different. I have nailed it down to KCOM and DMU. If you looked at the clinical rotations of the third and fourth years alone, what school would you go with, KCOM or DMU?

I only ask because outside perspective is always nice, and two, I don't want to hang on to all these acceptances. I was in the waitlist boat last year.

How about you post the rotation lists for us so that we don't have to go searching for them?

I picked DMU because they have a lot of opportunities for international travel. I think that KCOM has a group of students that take one trip. DMU has an alumni opening up a clinic in Mali and wants DMU students to start rotations there in the next couple of years. Just my opinion.

I don't know if they said this at your interview but at mine they said that DMU is keeping 3rd year rotations strictly in Des Moines starting with this years incoming class. Des Moines has a lot more hospitals than Kirksville. At KCOM to travel to other hospitals means about 30-40 mins any direction. Just a note that I really did like KCOM.

Awesome. DMU just got a few more points in my book.
