Hate to bring this back up but I have a sincere question. During high school I was taking about 10-15 credits at a local university while volunteering in the ER at a hospital. I don't think that the volunteering was somehow less relevant because I was in high school at the time (I'm doing the same volunteering now as I was then). Should I include volunteering that I did in high school on my application?
Made me chuckle too
absolutely
They're the ones that are going to get into a DO school by October and then end up clearly withdrawing to go MD
I believe it. I saw it happen many time last cycle.
October: I just want to get in anywhere. I don't care if it's DO or MD. I saw a physician perform OMM and I really think I actually like the hollistic approach!
January: MD is just a better fit for me and my family. PEACE!
Amen to that
Low GPAs won't get into MD though.
why would this surprise you? more and more well qualified people apply to DO schools each year.
For MD, 3.4/37 is not a shoo-in even for a US applicant, let alone a Canadian.
Added for now. What's "# apps"? Schools I plan to apply to?
Exactly, or just number is fine. The idea is to see with your stats, how many you are applying to and being accepted to.
Added to list. This will be interesting to track throughout the cycle. I'm also applying to TX MD programs, but don't feel like I'm a competitive candidate in the least (poor GPAs). As a Texas resident, though, I can't imagine turning down an in-state acceptance. Thankfully, there are some really exciting programs that I'm feeling hopeful about (namely ATSU-SOMA). Best of luck to everyone, and thanks to whoever put this together.
It has been about a month, just gonna give this a bump so people can keep uploading some stats on here. Keep up the great work everyone. Hopefully by the end of the cycle we will have a great source of information for future applicants.
Hey just bumping this now that some people are starting to get some more news from the schools. Again just trying to help out next year's applicants get a gauge on their chances.
***Introduced several new columns devoted to the specifics of how many schools you applied to and how that relates to how many schools you were accepted to.
Thanks again everyone for helping.

Awesome thanks a bunch! I figure even if this thread goes off the radar every couple of months, it will hopefully still serve as an awesome tool for next years applicants. Maybe if enough people update it, it will get stickied. Thanks for helping keep it alive.
Hey thanks for continuing to update the list!
Neglected this thread :< sorry! But have updated!
Hey congrats man!!!!
I appreciate the bump, thanks for continuing to help man. And another congrats!
Its been about a month, just giving it a bump for anyone to continue adding stats.
Did you end up getting into MD?
I noticed that as well but I havent had time today to figure it out.
Why SD? Doesn't seem too useful. Text needs to be removed from most cells or it won't get calculated. All in all a good idea but not too beneficial at the moment.
Yeah mine is gone, oh well lol.
