This is not only false but very shallow. DCOM could not charge a fee for their secondary application because back when the school first started taking these LMU could not award a doctorate level degree. If a school is new in granting a doctorate level graduate degree they first must obtain thier accredidation (ex. SACS and so forth) before they can charge anyone for applying. I can guarentee if LMU had a doctorate level graduate school before now they would have charged a secondary fee as did all the other schools. Touro in NY can charge these fees because they have other established fees.
I asked this question at my interview and this is what I was told.
I will say that DCOM seemed more intrested in finding students who fit what they were looking for personality wise vs. a 4.0 with a 40 MCAT and no personality.
No disrespect, but it is only "easier" if you fit the mold that they are specifically looking for.
In fact, no medical school is easy to get into. An applicant is either what the ADCOM is look for or not.
DCOM will be a fantastic school, has many quality applicants, and will produce many great physicians.
