Tonyda,
Looking at a school's matchlist is a good way to gauge a school's reputation. I chose UNECOM before seeing the matchlist because I compared cost of living, student body, facilities, size of entering class, and many other factors. None-the-less, I was impressed with UNECOM's matchlist (I really want to stay in the area and lots of people match in MA/CT residencies) and was pleased with my decision. I worked under a UNECOM graduate for 3 years who was by far the most incredible doc I had ever met.
If you haven't visited a school, I recommend talkign to as many students as possible from that school. It really helps to enlighten a prospective student.
Good luck in your decision!
This is UNECOM's matchlist: (Thanks to ECF1975 who supplied me with this information)
