osteopathic

Hello, Year 2 undergrad here at T30 school. I current have a cGPA of 3.94 and sGPA of 4.00. I worked in 3 research labs in high school for 2-3 month time periods (One at UConn, one at WashU, one at Stanford Medical School), and I am going to join a neuroscience lab at my undergrad school. I...

I am a MS3 and will soon be an MS4. I want to take an Year off between medical school and residency. What are the pros and cons? What can I do to help my chances? I have a few reasons, for needing the time off. 1. I want an MPH, for knowledge purpose and because I eventually want a leadership...

Is it me or are there NO osteopathic medical colleges outside the united states... if there are they are rare. Right now, the only one I know of is in Germany. Why is this?

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to help me out and I promise not to make this a novel. DEMOGRAGHICS: White Female, 23 California Resident/Dual Citizenship with Croatia STATS: cGPA: 3.6 sGPA: 3.53, 3.8 post-bacc School: 2 years at a CC then transferred and graduated from top UC MCAT...

For those genuinely interested in Osteopathy, its future, and its potential- I am here to answer questions. The art and science of osteopathy is in its infancy, but the future is bright. Due to merging of MD and DO residencies, the higher ACGME standards will now be present for all residency...

This space is designed for prospective candidates who are planning to apply for 2019 matriculation. Knowing stats, location and study/application plans would be awesome! If you've had any experience with the school, staff or other students - please share that experience as well! ABOUT ME: I...

Hey guys. Figured I'd start this thread for anyone else waitlisted like me. I don't think we'll start hearing anything until May, but I know someone who got pulled off randomly in December, so I suppose it isn't too crazy to hope for a miracle this early, haha.

Hello! I am interested in so many different specialties and I know have plenty of time to figure it out but I've been tossing an interest around in my head, wondering how I could incorporate it into my career if I chose to. I am interested in prosthetics and orthotics and any involvement that...

So I'm currently a first year osteopathic med student, and I am really looking for ways to boost my CV. My school has no direct research facilities, but I am really determined on finding a project to work on, especially this summer. Any tips on who I should contact or if anyone knows any...

I'm interested in pursuing IR, and as a DO this is really hard to do via the integrated pathway, and in general. So the advice I've gotten is --> high quality DR program-->high quality IR fellowship. The best route for this is probably a program that has ESIR, so that I'll have a better chance...

So I have had the fortunate opportunity to be accepted to both programs. I live in California and my family currently lives here as well. I know that WesternU has a great reputation in California. As for NYMC, I have heard mixed reviews and cannot seem to find how well it is ranked. Am I going...

3rd year DO student considering IM, FM, or peds; COMLEX I 601, USMLE I 217 Honestly I have no idea if I should take USMLE II or not. My COMLEX "translates" to a much better USMLE score than what I got, so I figure if ACGME programs have taken DOs then I should only submit my COMLEX. If I submit...

Have any of yall studied hard for MCAT but did not receive a good score or the score you were aiming for? What did you think went wrong or what would you do differently if you could study for it again? Im taking mine in a few months and im about to start studying for it, and I want to try to get...

Hey everyone! I didn't see a thread for the Class of 2022, so I figured I'd post one. I've been accepted and am looking forward to meeting everyone else soon. Feel free to post here any questions you have about the admissions process, interviews, campus etc.

I was accepted to both Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine-Dublin and The Ohio State University College of Medicine. My goal is to stay in Columbus but (praise the Lord) I was accepted to both schools in the Columbus area and I now have the (good) problem of deciding which...

I was accepted to both. They are both located in Columbus, Ohio. Halp!!

Hi! So I know it's late in the cycle but I'm currently applying to DO schools and so far I've only applied to 2 schools and actually got an interview at RowanSOM (I'm super happy and ecstatic about that, its such an amazing school) but I wanted to know what other schools I could apply to. I...

Super stressed right now. Not sure what to do. Counselor is not good at giving advice. Need someone to help me out and show me a path to take. I am currently a senior at MSU. Right now I am clueless of what I should do. Is it too late to apply for post bac programs? Or should I do masters? Or...

I'm currently an OMSIII graduating in 2019 who is interested in Ortho. I'm kinda confused about the merger and after searching these forms I figured I would just post my situation. I believe that I am a fairly competitive student. I am in the top 15% of the class, been part of clubs, received...

Hi, I am a pre med major studying in a top 50 US School. Im in my senior year have taken my MCAT's and have already applied to around 20 MD US Schools. I scored a 510 on my MCAT Chem125 CARS130 Bio127 and Psych128. I have a 3.8 GPA overall (psych major) and a 3.7 BCPM GPA. I am graduating a...

I am only a Junior in undergraduate school at the University of Alabama. I am majoring in psychology and minoring in biology on a pre-medical route. I currently am really struggling with my GPA due to not working hard enough freshman year. My overall is a 3.205 and my pre medical GPA is a 2.333...

Hey guys, I could use some help. So far I have been accepted into the above mentioned schools and I am personally leaning towards ATSoma because I think I fit really well into the school. I could use some more insight/help/opinions on what to really consider when picking the schools? I am from...

Noticed there wasn't a thread for this year so I figured I would start one. If others could chime in and add dates that would be great! I've received 2 interviews so far. CORE/Doctors Hospital Program CORE/Grandview Hosp & Med Ctr Program CORE/Summa Western Reserve Hospital Program...

Hi all, I graduated from undergrad in May, and have been on a delayed path for application (decided on med school late so i'm taking final pre-reqs). I have a sGPA of 3.30 (could go up a little with the completion of my last physics pre-req) and a cumulative gpa of 3.45. My undergrad major was...

Hey all, I'm just an M1 here particularly interested in hem/onc. I was curious if anyone had any insight on this/would know anything about the possibility of matching hem/onc with good board scores, community involvement, leadership experience, etc. (hypothetically speaking of course, I know...

2 or 4 weeks?

Hi guys. I'm sorry because I can't find information that addresses this exact question. 1. Do you guys feel that if a DO student decides to study for both the USMLE as well as COMLEX that they are at some kind of disadvantage over someone who only had to study for the USMLE or only for the...

Hi, I posted this on another thread, I just wanted to know some opinions. So i got a 490+ on step 1 and a 606 on step 2. I did not take the USMLE. Like I said in the other thread, I wish these scores were reversed! Would make my life easier. I have a few questions 1) How many programs is too...

Hello everyone! I am a third year student at the University of Virginia hoping to apply to a long list of DO schools next fall in my final undergrad year. I didn't do so hot my 1st year and had a gpa of 2.9. My 2nd year I had surgery on my brain and was out for the fall semester and returned in...

Hey Everyone! I would really appreciate some help on deciding if I should seriously apply with the stats that I have. I've recently started to look into Osteopathic schools to apply to however, my MCAT is unbalanced 506:127,122,128,129 and I think that might severely deter me from getting any...

Thanks for taking the time to read and help me! I am a senior in college with a GPA and sGPA of 3.2 and an MCAT of 512. I have leadership/ mentoring activities for a year, team building activities, 200+ hours of shadowing, some research experience and an upward trend in GPA. I was...

I am a DO and PGY3 in an ACGME Internal Medicine set to graduate in 06/2018. Our administration just informed us that USMLE Step 3 will be a requirement for graduation and that COMLEX Level 3 is not sufficient. As with the other DOs in my class, I am not eligible for USMLE Step 3 as I didn't...
