Hello! I'm trying to decide between these three schools and would appreciate any advice! I don't have family ties here so I'm just looking for the best overall school that set's its students up for the best & most opportunities. I don't know much about rotation/clinical sites - please share if you have any input here as well. What I feel so far:
PCOM:
Pros: great location being in Philly, low COL, apparently the best DO school for if you want to go into a specialty outside of primary care
Cons: letter grading, heard mixed things regarding its curriculum lately, 60k tuition
LECOM - seton hill
Pros: 33K tuition, low COL
Cons: letter grading, bad reputation regarding administration
(note: I'm not bothered by mandatory dress code and no drinking water rules (especially with PBL), I'm more worried about administration making things harder than they need to be).
I've never experienced PBL, but I'm a self-directed learner so am thinking it would be a good fit
NYITCOM
Pros: p/f grading, close to NYC (I live here rn), asynchronous lectures, people seem to really like their education/experience here
Cons: High COL, 67k tuition
