im a second year at lecom, and i do a lot of tours/lunches with prospective students, and i tell them all the same thing. education-wise, it really doesn't matter what school you attend. the same classes are taught, the same texts are used, and we all use the same board-prep materials for the same set of board exams. you say you want to know where you will get the best education- the only determinant of that is YOU and how well YOU study. i seriously honestly believe that. i tell all the prospectives that you need to pick the school where you will feel comfortable and happy. where you will fit in better with the student body/atmosphere. where you will want to study and do well. if you're going to be a good med student, you're going to be a good med student no matter where you go. and if you are in the military, that makes it easier- you can set up your rotations with the military regardless of school (usually, anyway, at least, i know our military people have a contact who helped them set up rotations outside of lecom affiliates), so you're clinical ed wont vary too much from school to school anyway. im very happy at lecom, so i always recommend it, although the Las Vegas school sounds very promising, and i met the current SGA pres this winter, and he seems like he wants to do a lot for the student body, so who knows! just go with your gut- what schools feels most "like you". thats just my 2 cents!
