KCUMB vs KYCOM vs LMUDCOM vs LECOM-B

[DO333]

If someone could give an insight into ranking these schools and the pros and cons that would be great!

KCUMB
Pros- Great COMLEX scores
-Very well established
-Difficult, but seemingly proven curriculum based on board scores
-I liked the city and bbq
Con- A second year student stopped me on campus and went on a rant on how much he disliked the school. He pretty much said if I had the choice then to not go there.

KYCOM
Pros- I loved the campus and block scheduling
-I really enjoy the rural setting and it’s 4 hours away from close family connections
-There is Pikeville Medical Center there for students to shadow at and have rotations
-Not as expensive as KCUMB
Cons- The COMLEX pass rates weren’t great until last year

LMUDCOM
Pros- Again like the rural campus
-Board scores seemed to be very good and their matches were very good
Cons- A little concerned about clinical rotations and the new Knoxville campus
- More expensive than KYCOM for less

LECOM B
Pros- Really cheap
-10 minutes away from my parents house(where I currently live)
Cons- Really cheap(Seemed to cut corners on interviews)
- Clinical rotations
-10 minutes away from my parents house

LMU is a no when compared to KCU.
LECOM-B is a no unless you have serious desires to stay with parents.. even then that’s guaranteed for two years and who knows how 3/4 yr will go there.
LECOM-B has mandatory attendance and dress (huge cons)
KCU is the easy win here. I interviewed there with no such findings and many on the forums here will advocate more than gripe for KCU.

I highly suggest avoiding LECOM-B.
