I would also like to state that finding the right medical school that fits for you is very important. Just because a school accepts you/ you feel qualified for does not mean a school is right for you. Make sure the school is in place you want to be in, the school will train you to be ready for boards and rotations and if they cant/wont make sure you have mechanism in place to get what you need and make sure you want to be a D.O. The D.O. world is changing alot and some is good but all of these changes have made the residency world very competitive and much harder each year on D.O. wanting those competitive spots. Make sure you are not settling and this fits you because once you are in, you are in.
Last, make sure you do this for you. I have seen it and many times people quit or fail out because of it. Debt for medical school is only going up and this isnt your parents/grandparents life it is yours. Life is too short to be unhappy in a career that makes your family happy.
