Trying to decide between these two schools to put a deposit at. LECOM Elmira is 20-30K cheaper a year but am not sure about LECOM Elmira’s clinical rotations in 3rd year as well as residency

I'd go with NYITCOM, as its proximity to major research centers and hospitals will open more doors for you

NYITCOM for sure. Older school. More connections. Vetted rotations. Similar price. No brainer.

NYITCOM.

Cannot recommend LECOM.

Now that I am on the other side, my best advice is to pick the DO school with the stronger clinical rotations. It's worth the extra money. You need strong clinical experiences. It will take you further and help you prepare to be a stronger applicant during your 4th year.

Agree with this for sure. Rotations at DO schools are on a HUGE spectrum.
