I know that the DO school is the better option, but hard to to not compare options when they are substantially different.

Thanks!
There is a lot going on in that post that just seems disjointed. I'm not exactly sure why you're comparing them - seems like apples and oranges to me. Why didn't you get into TCOM this year, did you apply? What are you hoping the masters will do for you?
