Anyone know how big NYCOM's class is? I've looked all over their web site and can't find anything on it.

In case the class size bothers you (it initially bothered me) there are some things to keep in consideration:
(1) the large # of graduates increases ppl's familiarity/knowledge of NYCOM and its reputation
(2) lots of ppl don't come to class after the first few weeks - my tour guide said class dwindles down to like 85 ppl or so.
(3) i was concered about having 6-8 students per cadaver, but when I asked an NYCOM student about this, he noted that if you really want to learn anatomy or be a surgeon, you're going to need to go in and work on several different cadavers anyway.

I'm a first year nycom student and our class size is exactly 315 students. The number is not a problem for me since the facilities are large enough to handle the students so you don't even notice the class is so big. Once in a while you will not get enough attn. like in OMM. You'll end up making lots of friends since we are all friendly and will be feeling you up a lot in osteopathic manipulation. If you don't get enough cadaver exposure, the anatomy lab is open all day so you can look at the cadaver all you want. I could not care less how much cutting I do.
