Ok, before i begin this this is no way meant for me to brag about some interviews I have received.

I am honestly need some more info and opinions about which DO schools I should choose.

Here is what I want in a school: location close to a big city, match list with competitive specialties (optho, surgery, etc..) represented, nice campus, good price, good board score pass rates...

I just got accepted into Western 🙂 However, I have three other DO interviews coming up. Should I cancel them in b/c Western is better for what I am looking for??

The schools are:

Touro
GA-PCOM
AZCOM

Also, do my remaining DO schools I applied fit this any better than western in your opinion? They are CCOM, PCOM, NYCOM, UMDNJ-COM. The only one i could possibly thing of is PCOM due to their good match list. Please share your opinions.
 
I would say PCOM, CCOM or Western would fit your criteria the best. I would just go by how you feel about the school when you visit. Cause they are all pretty similar to each other I think.
 
have you had the chance to visit the other schools (CCOM, PCOM, NYCOM, UMDNJ-SOM)? if not, if you had the opportunity to, it would be nice so you can really know the best choice.

if not, save your money and get ready to attend western in the fall. if you love the school, feel lucky that you have an acceptance in hand (this early) at your #1 school. from what i hear, they do have a great reputation in all the areas you mentioned.

congrats!
