Hey folks, I hope everyone is doing well. There are a few great choices, but which school do you think is the best (honestly)? If you consider avg. MCATs, avg. undergrad. GPAs, and avg. board scores during the medical education, which school can make the best case as the #1 D.O. school?
I would vote for KCOM, CCOM, MSUCOM or Touro. Of course, I don't have extensive knowledge for each school, so there are probably a lot of factors that I'm missing in my selections. There are some schools that are just starting out, so they could be great in time. Each school is obviously awesome in its own way, so no offense is intended toward anyone.
