I interviewed at both these schools and was more so impressed with Touro. While it is a bit more expensive, they offer great rotation sites at hospitals with affiliated residencies and the student/faculty support is great. The curriculum is pretty good and the Step 1 scores show that. Mandatory attendance is only T-TH so you'll have Fridays off (Mondays are exam days). I also had the opportunity to travel to both schools and tour Touro. While it looks dark and dingy, it is actually really nice inside and they have some amazing resources. The town of Middletown was also really respectful and borderline thankful to have Touro students in their businesses. I personally like Touro over WVSOM.
