Ok you didnt ask, but here it is anyway....
1. Spoke with the dean at DMU who was quite impressive on his CV and in person. I was being "pitched" by the marketing director at UHS.
2. Reviewed the presidents at each school. I wholeheartedly believe PD's know who is running the schools. Sorry UHS but your pres freaks me out.
3. The curriculum appears to be stable at DMU, not to say it is better than UHS but it seems to work. The UHS Genesis curriculum seems impressive, but it seems to have caused some riff among the faculty. It is still in flux and not proven by COMLEX I yet.
4. UHS was more impressive for clinical rotations with a great chance to stay in K.C. and receive good rotations. I will probably have to leave Des Moines, but I would like to go to a MI or OH teriary Osteopathic center anyway. So this was a wash.
5. The seating for DMU first years is not impressive, but I will manage. The UHS seating is awesome, better than any school I visited including State U. (ok this one is for UHS)
6. The cost of housing is equitable, but in Des Moines I can live within walking distance and feel safe at all hours.
7. UHS will break ground for a new science building in the only parking lot they have. And since you have to drive to school......plus I know what it is like to have construction on campus as I did my last semester of undergrad. It sucks.
8. Computers, Library, study rooms seem the same, but the DMU anatomy lab less stinky and larger than UHS. And it is on the second floor with huge windows at DMU a MAJOR plus. The UHS lab is in the basement with no windows.
9. Tuition is less at DMU.
10. DMU has an unimpressive OMM lab, but a great reputation. UHS has an impressive OMM lab, but unsure of the teaching.
If I was single UHS might have won. KC is decent city for sports and EC's but Im not, and plan to study a lot. Also I think I will win more 5k races in Iowa than in KC which I know has some fast local runners :wink: .
If you feel I was wrong in any view....deal 😛
