why buffalo?
temple?
lecom?

I read that all 3 schools are OOS friendly. Also, having family near Temple and LECOM is a plus. The tuition cost at Buffalo seems reasonable, especially beyond the first year as a D1 student. I was also around the average in terms of stats for the previously accepted class for most of these schools.
