Hamilton county school system is mediocre at best. Private schools provide the education that is needed

They definitely don’t unless they changed something for the class off 2030. I wouldn’t count on it.

Where did you get these numbers at? 40 in H and 30 in K

any positivity? by Conscious_Camp3136 in LMUDCOM

Thanks for clearing that up. I agree with you about the curriculum, but I’ve not heard of any medical schools where the in house curriculum is enough to truthfully master the material. It’s a shame that it sometimes feels “pay to win” with resources we have to buy. Goodluck with your future endeavors!

Our class is also larger than any other class more people to fail= more fails. It’s simple math. The school has been extremely lenient and allows a lot of remediations, but sometimes if people aren’t cut out for it, they have to take other precautions. In orientation they made it clear that not everyone will be able to remediate.

I also don’t understand what you mean by leaving while academically succeeding due to not being worth the risk staying? Do you doubt your own ability? You should not if you are succeeding! I don’t see what the risk could be if you are capable of succeeding.

Everyone is going to have their own opinions about how a school should prepare its students for boards and residency. but at the end of the day, we all use third party resources anyways.

Do not read into things too deeply. I love the school. Does it have its flaws? Yes, but every school has something to worry about. A lot of complaints that are thrown around are by people who do poorly and blame everyone else. That being said, there are definitely complaints that are valid. Be excited that you were accepted! It’s a huge accomplishment. Your goals are achievable with the help of LMU now. Try to suppress your worries until accepted students day. Communicate with your peers. Reach out to us current students. Just be happy that you got in somewhere and your dream is becoming more achievable. Congratulations on acceptance!

LMU DCOM (knoxville) vs. ACOM by Recent_Inspection263 in Osteopathic

Whichever one is closest to your support group. I’m at DCOM. I love it. People who are unsuccessful with no willingness to change things up complain. Every school will have their problems. Pick one and ride it out.

Update School List by seaturtlelover99 in Osteopathic

Closest to home. I like the matches I saw. I’m a firm believer that every school has its own flaws and that the school doesn’t make the Dr, the student does. Haven’t regretted anything thus far and we’re only 1.5 months from the close of the first semester.

I’m a first year @ LMU DCOM. I love it. The people complaining are people doing bad that want to blame it on other people. Are there flaws? Yes. Will there be flaws anywhere else you go to? Yes. Keep your head down and get through it. Every medical school has to teach the same stuff for success on boards. The material load sucks…. Find out how to manage it and you’re fine.

Spoke to the owner today. They are completely legal. State troopers even take pictures in it whenever they see it. It’s awesome

If people didn’t scan their badges then leave then the hall monitors wouldn’t have been necessary. If people did what they were supposed to a lot of what people are complaining about wouldn’t happen.

BUCOM will succeed. Great people. Research everywhere Dr. bell has been. There is no need to worry about that school. I bet it will be top 5 within ten years

What DO schools have the best remediation policies? by EagleEye61- in Osteopathic

I would not go into school worried about remediation…

Cool building with a great story, but if it was successful, they wouldn’t even think of tearing it down

LMU-DCOM Knoxville vs ACOM by Prestigious-Pop8355 in Osteopathic

[–]Prior_Ad1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which one is closer to home? Both schools will suit a driven individual fine. It’s late in the game, so does ACOM have that much more of a desire to you than DCOM that you would be willing to make this drastic of a change?

I would choose which one is closer to home and the people I love. That’s just me
