Delete 1 (too new); 2 (declining COMLEX pass rates; 3 and 6 (IS bias); 7 (Poor COMLEX II pass rates; unethical behavior in how they dealt with an overbooking issue two years ago);

I concur with Goro - delete those for above reasons
Also delete LECOM-B, which has had issues with thier rotations sites

If I were you I would add ACOM, MUCOM, VCOM-VA and SC, LECOM-Erie and Seton Hill, Touro-NV, and PCOM in place of those

Add DMU and KCUMB

1. The area is nice to live and the school seems nice, but mandatory attendance and dress codes are a big turn off for some/most.
DMU is a really awesome school but not in the fanciest area to live. Decent cost of living wise and the school well known.
Look into KCU, PCOM, TUNCOM is Nevada near Vegas.

Don't know much about KYCOM. UNECOM is very good. @Mad Jack can fill you in on that one.

KYCOM has a decent IS bias, and they are amazing at the silent rejection

UNECOM is a decent school, and they are surprisingly open to taking out of region students.
