For various reasons, I'm interested in starting a Pre-Soma chapter at my school. There already exists a "pre-professional" society, and for information purposes it blows. I've had to research and find things out 100% on my own, and this greatly impeded my progress during sophomore year. Besides that, the Pre-professional society meets about 4 times per year, having various dentists, pharmacists, etc come. That's perfectly fine, but I'd like a more dedicated means of getting information to unknowing students.
There is an osteopathic school less than 2 hours away from my school, and there are currently 3 graduates of my university at that COM. It's an option people don't know they have, from what I've gathered.
I'm wondering if anyone else has done this. Will this politically crush any chance I would have at an allopathic school?(Even if it does, I'm still willing to start the chapter).
I already have leadership experience, so that's not the main motivation for this. I would be lying, however, if I told you that I wouldn't be using this to my advantage during the application process.
Thanks for any insight!
