Hey I wanted to know if it is possible to apply through amcas to MD schools while accepting (and i guess attending) a DO school for the upcoming year. Basically, if i get accepted to the MD school, I will drop pout of the DO school i will be in at the time and wait to go to MD schools. I know this means that i might have to take part of the first year of medical school twice... but is something like this possible?
The reason i want to do this is bc i have been accepted to DO school for this upcoming year but would like to do MD for personal reasons. However, i do not want to risk losing my spot at the DO school and also reapplying and getting into a MD school is also risky with a 30MCAT/3.7gpa in CA... I understand that i might not get into a MD school but at the same time, i wont be wasting a year... i will just continue my DO degree...
Is there any way that either the DO or MD school will know what i am doing? Is this a really bad idea? Any thought?
Thanks
