I think that varies based on the school and your tolerance of Christianity
[/QUOTE
Would you mind giving me examples of the schools? I am a Jewish applicant, but I really love a lot of the more Christian DO schools.
LUCOM is separate from its parent institution, but unapologetically Christian. There are students from all types of religious backgrounds going there, from devout Christianity to zero religion whatsoever. They only ask that you respect Christian views.
LUCOM and Loma Linda.My PS states I’m part of the LGBTQ community. Which schools should I absolutely avoid?
how are the touro schools?
CA and NV are great. Middletown is new but doing OK. Harlem is a slightly iffy but not a bad option if you prefer a very urban setting. (I’m probably heading to Touro-Middletown in the fall, primarily for geographic reasons.)
(not really a direct reply to you, Osteoblast, more in general)
I would admittedly recommend against TouroNY. Middletown - a brand new school - is already outperforming NY on board exams. NY has a long history of being below average on all board exams despite having a solid matriculant class year over year. This is not a good sign.
This is among other reasons that you could easily find with a quick search on the forums.
Just to be clear, Middletown and Harlem are both Touro-NY, just different campuses. I’m guessing you mean Touro-Harlem when you say “Touro-NY.”
Both NY campuses have not-great board scores, unfortunately; both are performing below the national average on most board exams when it comes to first-time pass rates. At the same time, some individual students are able to succeed there and get into competitive residencies in orthopedic surgery, ENT, etc. I guess it’s more so about the work you put in than about where you attend.
