I have been accepted at WVSOM and LECOM-Bradenton. I am also waiting to hear back from one MD interview but these deposits are due in a month and I hope to have my decision made soon. I am hoping to get some input on the availability of clinical research opportunities and the stability/quality of rotation sites for each school.
I am leaning towards WVSOM because I loved the school on my interview day and they seemed more open to the idea of students doing research. I don't know much about their rotations.
LECOM-b has cheaper tuition and is in a less rural area. However, one faculty member seemed to hint that research opportunities were almost non-existent and I am nervous about the way they assign clinical rotation sites.
I would be grateful for any input from current students on this. Sorry if this thread is repetitive I could only find a similar one from 2007 and wanted some updated information.
