Any preference on which of these FL DO schools are better? I know OCOM is a brand new school but I have seen some name and shame on NSU COM and am trying to weigh my options

NSU has issues, but at least it's established. OCOM couldn't even fill their inaugural class and had to offer accepts to people they rejected!

You'd have to search SDN.

My comments were based upon years of nearly identical complaints from Nova students, namely that the Administration refuses to listen to any student feedback, and, in fact, threatens to club them with professionalism violation if they don't shut up.

You should also search their website for COMLEX performance and judge for yourself.

Thank you - and in this same light, should we be concerned about PCOM's lower COMLEX pass ratings? They are slightly lower than LMU DCOM's based on the famous ATSU COMLEX percentage chart that circles around on here. (I've seen posts not recommending LMU DCOM due to low COMLEX pass percentage.) PCOM is regarded as one of the better DO schools since it's an original 5, but their scores are notably lower than DMU COM, ATSU, KCU, etc. Heck even LECOM's first time pass percentage is higher than PCOM's 🤨

I do not recall how many conditional acceptances they take from their SMP, but it is possible that some students from that group are not passing COMLEX.
