Search "AACOMAS CIB" on google which is the DO version of the MSAR. It will give you a rundown of each school including what types of letters that are required.

LECOM-B does for sure. There were a few people at the interview that didn't have it in yet, but they still needed one and they made sure to let us know it.

I remember a couple that said MD/DO, but DO preferred. Best way to check is take AlteredScale's suggestion and look at the requirements here for each school individually. Better to do your own research than trusting what someone else says anyway, in my opinion.

There are more schools that don't require a letter from a DO than schools that do.

I found each school's individual website to be the best source of information. As others have said, definitely do your own research. There are quite a number that don't "require" a letter from a DO but "strongly prefer it".

EDIT:Be careful with the term health professional though as MANY of the schools specify said health professional must be a DO or MD.

LMU-DCOM didn't when I got in. I'm not sure if they've changed that now, but I wouldn't think so...
