LECOM-B vs. NOVACOM

[Novabrah]

---

Members do not see this ad.

So I'm a 4th year at Nova got into both schools 4 years ago. Fwiw there are tons of people in my class that complain about Nova. So do I sometimes. However the first year above isn't even 1/4 of the way done so don't listen to him. One of my great friends scored 800+ 260+ from Lecom. Guess what we have boss board scores too. You keep throwing 160k out difference. Most people don't take out all the loans. Tuition difference is 20k a year difference so that's 80 in my book. I'm pretty good at math. If you want to play intramural sports have a boss gym and live near the beach novas solid. setting up rotations for lecom sucks. A lot of my friends have had a lot of trouble finding rotations in Florida to the point they have to beg for them to go with any doc they can find. Also they don't graduate until June 10 and rotate through May. Most of our class finished end of March of you plan right graduate May.

Clearly not that good at reading though. You missed that fact that OP is staying for free by LECOM-B and would have to rent a place in Davie. To make the math easy, let's say 1000 a month, which I think is reasonable. That's 12k per year over four years... 12 x 4 = 48k you didn't account for right there! Plus, additional expenses that would be covered at home that you would otherwise need to factor in. You also didn't account for compounding interest.

None of the folks I know at LECOM-B had any issues setting up their rotations (exception: some did have issues with OB-GYN in FL).

[Duplicate post - sorry]

I'm going to use this space to address transferring, which was mentioned above. Don't go to a school with the intent to transfer to another. It's really hard to do. It's definitely not like undergrad.

 

[tiffany_wong]

Lol why do u guys keep bringing this money thing into the equation.

Money is quick.

Just work as a bartender by the coast for a summer and u make 40k working April to august.

Did that last year doing that this year.
And I got my living expenses all covered for 4 years.

Pennies on the dollar my friends.

Make your money before you go to medical school.
Doesn't matter how many loans u take out because your not gonna see money for 10 years my friends.

 

[mspeedwagon]

Either you're very rich or don't know the value of money. Going to Nova, the debt load (assuming no scholarship) would be 300kish by the time it's paid back. Making 40k (assuming before taxes) won't even make a dent.

I can't tell you the number of folks I've met that want to quit medicine and can't because they need to continue making 300-400k to pay off loans.

That's why to me this decision all comes down to the money.

I is not good at readings. They don't teach us readings skills at Nova only multiple choice. I stand corrected.

That being said it does not matter which school you go to. If you is not at H@rvard it's up to the individual. I crushed my boards comlex and USMLE and probably would have if I went to LECOM too. But in the end if money is the only thing you care about then go LECOM. At the end of the day when your an attending having loans automatically deducted every month who cares if it's 1700mknth vs 2000 if your hurting that much for money at that point you are doing something wrong.

 

[mspeedwagon]

I love you. We're in basic agreement. The kids that do well on the boards at Nova, would likely do equally well at LECOM.

I guess it's the value of money we're (I'm) stuck on. But, as a non-trad, I've seen the difference in lives that people will loans are living in their 30s vs. those with no loans and it's a world of difference. Friends of mine that went to state schools in Texas have mansions and Ferrari's vs. a used Camry and a tiny apartment. If you have a chance to get to no loans faster, go for it. But, even the $300 a month difference every month for 20 yrs is large, especially once you factor in the potential for that money to grow if you invest it. But, to each their own.

Also in regards to the values of money. A dollar equal 0.99 cents am I right

But in all seriousness forget about the money (yes I'm aware of present vs future value of a dollar) it's more about where your comfortable. In August wherever you end up in sure you won't be concerned if you made the right decision just learning to pass your classes.

Other things to think about if you want to learn to dissect and have anatomy, learn to actually use a microscope in a histolab, and dissect brains in neuro the option is available at NOVA. Not at Lecom. If you don't want to go to class you don't have to. If you want a brand new multimillion dollar research building and guaranteed clinicals at academic hospitals i.e. Broward, mt Sinai go to nova. At lecom to get guaranteed rotation sites it's based on your class rank. Sorry to break it to you not everyone is number one. The kids I'm friends with at lecom will be great doctors because of the hard work they put in and will be just as good as nova students. If you want to do any competitive specialty /subsurg you better be prepared to work your tail of wherever you end up and have publications to back it up.

 

[tiffany_wong]

Lol do the math.
At the end of the summer I'll have about 72k (2 summers of work) give or take that I'm putting vector ed towards my living costs.

I figure I'll spend about 18k a year so this should cover nearly all of that.

Rich isn't a word I'd use to describe me.
But I did work every summer of college bartending on the water.
Paid off all my debt from a private undergrad, bought a new car, and have all my living costs saved up for medical school.

Making money isn't why I'm going into medicine, I'm doing it out of my love for the art of healing.
If I ever need money when I'm older ill just bartend part time and thatl whatever expenses I have.

I highly recommend that anyone who's looking for a job and isn't publishing this summer hits a bartending gig on the water, lake, bay, port, beach doesn't matter money is there and if u work full time u can break 3k quiet easily in the open season anywhere april-september

 

[mspeedwagon]

72k over two summers isn't bad. But, it would take you then still have all med school tuition to pay off (50k x 4 = 200k) even after that.

I don't think the reason of going into medicine is relevant here. It's not like the OP becomes a doctor out of Nova and something totally different out of LECOM. The OP will be a doctor and a DO at both at the end of the day.

Making money isn't hard. I can think of a lot of jobs that would pay close to 100k to someone with a bachelors (though, not as much fun as you make bar tending sound). But, getting out of debt isn't all that easy. I'd avoid it at all costs. I grew up dirt poor though, so I like getting things as cheaply as possible.

[tiffany_wong]

Lol! I feel you on that
My parents immigrated here and we didn't even have cable till I was like 15 and my dad was able to carry over his license to practice here
Then things changed drastically lol
Won't ever forget that year went from bringing bagged lunch to school to eating double pizza sticks at lunch everyday lolll.

But even then if let's say you're in 500k debt.

And you just start your residency.
Let's say u make 54k a year as a resident
A believable sum.

And you do the ibr or repaye program

This program asks you to pay 10% of your discretionary income.

Discretionary income is defined as your income left over after taxes and living expenses.

OK let's say u pay a standard tax of 34%
You have 36k left
And let's say your living and food costs are 22k

So you have 14k left as discretionary income

From this they can only ask you to pay 10% towards your loans

Which is 1400 a year and roughly 200 a month.

This means ur only.paying 200 a month for your loans while in residency
Furthermore you have 12,000 dollars left over to do what u want with

Now we move on
Let's say u get an internal medicine job

They salary u at 175k

OK cool

After taxes u have 116k left
You spend 22k on living again

You have 94k left over as discretionary income

That means they can ask u for 9,400 at the end of the year

Comes down to paying 900 a month

So after paying your taxes
Paying your housing and food
And your loans

You have about 84k left over to do what u want with

That my friends is the equivalent of being able to buy almost 3 Honda civics.

After 2 years you can open up a CAR dealership and be a doctor.

But now another question.

What if you have a mortgage and kids and a wife to support?
Well that is subracted from your income since it is a necessity and does not count as discretionary income.
So you pay even less loans.


Final question.
Will you ever pay your loans off?

No

You are barely paying the interest lol

I'm just showing you how comfortably you can live as a doctor with 500k in debt

 

[mspeedwagon]

Nice. My folks are still broke. I've been lucky.

I want to show you how comfortably my friends that went to school in TX and were able to pay off their entire debt load in residency without much issue currently live, but they can all be tied back to me and I'd prefer to remain anonymous. But, let's just say one bought his first private plane, another a Ferrari and one bought part of a golf course (which I didn't even know you could do!).

Yes, you'll be ok and be able to get out of debt, but I see no reason to take it one when you don't have to.

[Rekt]

Is that really so? I don't have this year's data for LECOM, but if we compare last year's matches:

Anesthesia - LECOM's 5 vs Nova's 3
Ophthalmology - 3 vs 1
Neurosurgery -1 vs 2
Ortho - 7 vs 6
ENT - 1 vs 1

And don't forget that Nova's class has 50 more students in it (240 to 190).
I just don't think there is any evidence to the claim that Nova's matches are better. They have comparable matches.

That's exactly what I said not to do. I was referring to reputation.

 

[mspeedwagon]

Absolutely. PM me when you're ready and I'll definitely get one anywhere in the world you'd like with you. There's the PGA village in Port St. Lucie (FL) that I wouldn't mind buying. I just never thought to buy half a golf course until my friend called me up and told me that's what he was doing (his gf, also a physician from a TX state school, is buying the other half). I guess they plan to combine golf courses in Holy matrimony.

(Side-note: I haven't see the OP on this thread. We're probably totally not helping him at this point. Oh well).

On many topics
And foremost that if you go to nova then you will.have the opportunity to own half a golf course 😉

Some of the Nova's (would-be) students in this thread are so clueless it's painful to read. Nobody is attacking Nova here, it is the argument that Nova is a better school that is being challenged. So far the only objective difference is the CoA. LECOM has been doing a good job at providing an affordable education to its students, while Nova will continue to increase their tuition going forward.

Btw, I raised this issue before:

Lolllllll

I just read that whole forum a lot of the same stuff was said.
But it was really funny.

Looks like the general consensus is 70% nova to 30% lecom

Best sdn thread ever!!! OP, go to LECOM-B and if you are wondering what to do with the $160,000 ish that you save, I'd be more than happy to take it from you. You can send it to me in a check each month for the next 10-20 yrs. I'll put it toward that golf course that @tiffany_wong and I are going halfsies on 🙂.

 

[HardyWork]

Is it 50K per year OOS or is that per semester at NOVA?

 

[tiffany_wong]

It's 18k a semester

 

[zafonte86]

.

 

[mspeedwagon]

It's a little over 50k per year. Tuition at Nova goes up every year. I believe it was $51k (with things like histology lab fee and such thrown in). It'll be more than that for the Class of 2020. In-state tends to run about $5k cheaper per year.

Is it 50K per year OOS or is that per semester at NOVA?

 

[mspeedwagon]

It's slightly more than that with the additional fees for labs. It'll work out to $20k if you are OOS, get the school's health insurance and pay all the required fees. About $18.5k in-state. For those looking at this and multiplying by 2, just remember that there are 3 semesters at Nova.

Great. Then where is this person up top coming up with 500K?

 

[mspeedwagon]

500k??? Wait, what? Nova is expensive, but not that expensive.

Taking Oos tuition it's basically 60k for tuition and 15k for living and food a yr. That's 75k x 4 = 300k. If you then add in interest etc, it might work out to another 50k on top of that over the course of the 10-20 years to pay it back.

Depends how you pay it back. I looked at my Loan today. I owe a lot haha. If I paid it off in 10 years on the basic repayment plan I would owe around 4700 a month and end up paying 515K after interest which is absurd. If I paid it off over 30 years it would end up costing me 900k at the current interest rate. There are other repayment options which make it much more affordable but I'd definitely recommend meeting with a financial person to discuss your options. I'm currently looking into the 10 year loan forgiveness which supposedly won't be around to much longer from what I was hearing from other students in my class today. But who knows....

 

[AvrgPreMedKid]

At the end of the day when your an attending having loans automatically deducted every month who cares if it's 1700mknth vs 2000 if your hurting that much for money at that point you are doing something wrong.

It scares me that some future doctors still don't know "you're" from "your."

But I did work every summer of college bartending on the water.
Paid off all my debt from a private undergrad, bought a new car, and have all my living costs saved up for medical school.

You must be hot. We don't all have this option.

Which is 1400 a year and roughly 200 a month.

This is closer to roughly $100/month.

Money matters, folks. LECOM-B.

 

[tiffany_wong]

If u care about money that much then just become a bartender and not a doctor haha.
And no you all have the option of high paying summer jobs.
I wouldn't consider myself a particularly atractive person and I make a killing every summer just because people tip 20% standard.
If I have 4k in loqour sales every night then I'm walking away with 800 dollars cash
This happens every thurs-Sunday
Monday through Wednesdays are more along the lines of 300-400
(BTW these are standard 10 hour shifts)
I know lifer bartenders who worked for 20+ years and they male 120k+ after taxes.
But it is a very boring life, it's just a means to an end of paying for my medical school.
And mind you I'm from the northeast, if you get a part time gig working in miami.
Ull break 200k a year bartending.
Work for 2 years and u can pay your whole medical school education in cash lol
I actually talked about this at my interview at nova when they asked me why medicine etc and how I planned on paying for it.
I said well because I worked a lot of careers and they bore me, I want to help people, not get them drunk.
I like to be challenged, and I like to solve complex problems.
And when I said cash they laughed. But I was serious lol.

Money doesn't matter in life.
It's just abother measure of time.
I highly recommend that you don't start medical school until you are mentally prepared to accept my last statement and commit to medicine because you love it not because it's just a means to a different end for you.

You want ez money in the medical field?
Get a DNP 3 years and u get your 150k a year.

It scares me that some future doctors still don't know "you're" from "your."

Oh, where to start.

I worked as a bartender/server for my 4 years of undergrad. Never made more than $200 in a shift (still great compared to most jobs). In the state where I worked, servers only make 2.13/hour which all went to taxes, so we lived off of tips. People don't know this though so most tip maybe 10-15%.

Anyways, you make it seem like all the med students can just go pick up a bartending job and start raking it in lol. Most places want experienced (and/or attractive) bartenders.

Plus, I never want to tend bar again. I would rather focus on research & studying for boards than tending bar over summers to try to put a dent in my loans.
And I do love medicine - thats' why I want to keep my loans as low as possible. I don't plan on being a millionaire plastic surgeon, more like IM/FM (because I like actual medicine).

As for the DNP thing, you have to have at least a BSN first, and the programs usually want experienced nurses on top of that. It's not so quick and easy, and $150k would be at the higher end of DNP pay - their average is closer to 100k/year.

Bottom line: If you want to tend bar over summers, go to Nova so you're closer to the poppin' night clubs.

 

[tiffany_wong]

U missed my point I said work .
Have 200 grand in the bank then go to medical school!

Also look up nurse rank .Com

A bsn in nursing makes 98k in florida.
After 3 years of course

In new York a bsn can start at 90k a year for example in NYU langone

MSN closer to 120

Dnp above that

Not easy to have $200k in the bank...it would take some people 10 years to have that much saved up, after living conservatively. How many people after college can really make over $50k a year?

Going to be honest with you. There are very few college grads who can make close to $100k for the first couple of years. It takes time to get to that level, without any real experience in the field.

Also, I would think many (or most) people do not want to go through medical school in their 30s...when they have a family to take care of and do not want to go through the stress of medical school, rotations, and residency.

There are other expenses like buying a house, car, kids, etc...you make it sound so easy when it really isn't.

Also, bartending average salary is only$19-25k a year. Not sure where you're getting such high figures from. You must be really earning those "tips." You are probably hot, like some previous poster said.

Not to mention, it would be hard to convince an adcom that your job of bartending is somehow related to medicine and why you wanted to become a physician.

Lets put it this way If you can memorize drinks for a table of 15 people then u can memorize the cranial nerves

However that's reported bartender salary.
Most bartenders only report 18% of what they make so they get taxed much less lol.
Plus that's national average not coastal average.

Alright, in typical SDN manner, we've gone completely off the topic. The OP is not debating between becoming a bar tender or a DO (or at least I don't think she is).

The OP is debating between becoming a DO or a DO. To get one DO is about $160k cheaper than getting the other DO and no one will ever know the difference. People will still be asking, "what's a DO?" "When does the doctor see me?" "DOs are doctors... really?" I learned this at my IGC experience shadowing a DO.

Imho opinion if you the end result of what you get is exactly the same (a DO degree), I see no reason to pay that much more for it.

Ooook.....

Then I guess we can put finances in a shallow perspective

The campus at nova is way more social, people are more outgoing and atractive, thus increasing your chances of finding a successful partner in life

Double income in the aplied field comes down to this comparison.

U pay 160k more for an education that can help u meet someone Thay makes just as much as you do therefore doubling your income for life.

The prior dean of nova actually spoke about this in an interview,
He went to nova became a doctor where he met his wife who also became a doctor.
They had a bunch of.kids and we're set for life.


U wanna be happy go to nova.

That's why it receives more aplications than almost any other school lol.

@tiffany_wong: I'm single. Will you marry me? We can have a bunch of kids. We can start on that together tonight (beats studying)! I totally have failed to figure out who in the class you are. Asked everyone is they worked at a bar for the summer before med school too!

I don't think social, outgoing and attractive are great criteria for choosing a med school, but I fit into all of the above and go to Nova so you might have a point 🙂.

I also don't think application numbers are a good representation. That's just telling you that a lot of people think they have a shot. It's essentially why Harvard gets so many fewer applicants that schools with much lower MCAT averages. The vast majority of folks I know at Nova also applied to LECOM-B. I certainly did!

Are you talking about dean silvagni? Pretty sure his wife was a lawyer and has no medical experience.... I hope you guys all come to the M4 residency question and answer thing we are having in May at quarter deck. I would love to put faces with your SDN names haha

 

[mspeedwagon]

You're totally right. I just realized that Dean Silvagni's wife chaperoned our group during the art museum experience and she said she was a lawyer. I was under the impression that she may have gone to Nova though.

That said, I'm still not doing anything too exciting tonight so my offer to @tiffany_wong stands.
