Please help me decide between UIWSOM and WCUCOM! I need to put a deposit down ASAP. I am living about 45 min from San Antonio right now and would prefer to stay here but WCUCOM is more established and is a lot cheaper. I have also been told by a UIWSOM student to avoid UIWSOM at all costs (I cannot remember his reasoning). Any input would be greatly appreciated!

@Goro recently removed WCUCOM from the bad boy list after increasing their first-time pass rates: COMLEX.
UIWSOM finally posted their COMLEX 1 first-time pass rates: COMLEX

COMLEX pass rates are only one metric, but an important one. WCUCOM has data on match rates and has graduated several classes now. 2021 will be first graduating class for UIWSOM.

Currently making the same decision between UIWSOM and WCUCOM. I saw WCUCOM is doubling their student class sizes which could cause challenges. Thoughts on that? The people at UIWSOM seem great just hesitant on COMLEX scores. Both are out of state for me!

WCU keeps having decent match lists ill say that, UIWSOM has not matched a class yet.

Anyone have any thoughts on NYIT-AR or UIWSOM?

UIWSOM hasnt matched a class yet, so I would lean towards NYIT-AR if thats your only acceptance

Never mind my last comment, Did they both match their first class this year? I think they are both okay

NYIT has matched 2 classes now. UIW just matched their first one.
