Hey all,
I'm taking the MCAT in a few weeks and was thinking of applying to DO school. I am not sure how I will do. I am reviewing now and will be taking more tests next week, but I was thinking of applying to DO school and wanted to start preparing if I need to. I have submitted my transcript requests to the schools for AMCAS. I am not sure when the AACOMAS opens but I need to request the transcripts earlier because I have quite a few and the schools have complicated procedures for requesting.
1) I have worked as a medical assistant BUT I do not have a DO letter (only MD). Will June/July be enough to get a DO letter or will an MD letter suffice? I am interested in LECOM.
2) Do DO schools offer any scholarships? My brother recently was accepted to MD school and they are shaving off 18k a year for out of state. Unfortunately for most of the DO schools I checked, tuition is like 50k/yr since most are private. That seems like a lot to take on for a primary care field. Is that reduced in any way?
