Hi everyone!

I know this has been discussed before, but I would like to get some comparison on these schools. Thanks!

Flip a coin.

Flip a coin.

A coin that says Roseman on both sides.

The main differences are cost and PBL. I was facing the same dilemma back in December, and I ended up choosing Roseman. Message me if you have any specific questions.

Neither.

I had interviews from both schools:

LECOM -
PROS: Beautiful facility, you get your own space in clinic, weather, beach, cost is a lot cheaper than Roseman
CONS: PBL (depends if you like or not), library, no gym

ROSEMAN -
PROS: Environment, mountains, open-door policy, very laid back curriculum
CONS: Very expensive, no gym

Personally I would choose LECOM just for the price differences

add in the LECOM's Cons that their first graduating class just failed the clinical board.

Attention any and all future posters on SDN that want input on XXXXX vs. Lecom.........the answer will always be XXXXX.

That is all.

Touro vs LECOM. That'd be interesting.

As of April 11, 2016, I'd go with LECOM if I had to choose and hope that they fix the issue with so many students failing part 2 of their boards by the time I took them.

From my understanding, their DO program is reputable, so I'm hoping they can just iron out the kinks and get their dental program on track.

I tried to find it published online, but couldn't. I have family friends who administer the dental boards across the US. One of them knew that I had applied to LECOM and called me to tell me that 74% (+/- a few % - don't remember exactly) failed part 2. A few other SDN members reported hearing the same thing.

they wont publish (probably until the official year is over and the class retakes their board score and they publish the retake result)
but what forgorvostan stated is the truth.

the president as well as the current students at LECOM (D3 and D4) know this
