I know I know the last thing we need is another versus thread. I'm leaning towards RVU (cheaper tuition, better location). Am I stupid for preferring a newer 'for-profit' school instead of an established osteopathic behemoth?
You're not stupid for making any decision. It's what makes you happy, also, their board scores represent a good educational foundation so you have a good school to choose from either way. Go RVU if you want.
RVU students match the same as students from other programs. The location >>> CCOM/Chicago area. Plus the COA at CCOM is insane. If you liked it out there and would feel comfortable at that school, then go for it!
