Should I include osteopathic clubs in my MD applications

[Midom]

Does it look bad if you show interest in osteopathic medicine by being on the executive board (president) of a DO (osteopathic) club pre-soma while applying to MD schools? Should I exclude the fact that I hold that position on my MD applications especially if I was thinking of applying early decision MD and some DO schools?

If you're considering DO schools due to stats, you probably should not be applying ED to any MD schools. ED is for applicants who 1) have an extremely compelling reason to attend a particularly school and 2) are extremely well qualified.

And personally, I don't think including involvement in osteopathic organizations would hurt MD chances, but others might say differently.
