Acceptance by GPA and MCAT for DO schools?

[BenzylAcetate]

Does anyone know of a similar table for Osteopathic schools? I've looked at the AACOM website data, but there doesn't seem to be anything presented in this same manner; maybe something unofficial exists somewhere?

There are a few existing threads about this. Should be easy to find with the search function

It's very possible my thread finding skills are failing here, but I couldn't find something quite like the AAMC grid for DO schools. There are a lot of threads about individual school acceptance rates and averages, but I'm looking for something more in depth than that.

If you found something in particular I would greatly appreciate it if you could link me to it.

I don't think AACOMAS has produced such a detailed grid for DO schools. You can use the following link to have access to a DO equivalent of MSAR. It will provide you with the most recent statistics for DO applicants.

Yeah there isn't a pretty table like that provided by AACOMAS... maybe someone on SDN will take it up as a project.

Not to necro the thread, but looked through each school's profile and there are almost no % of latinos reporting or attending any D.O. school. This makes me a wee bit nervous for some reason.

What on earth are you talking about? Look again:

13% Hispanic/Latino at NSU-COM (p. 51)
14% Hispanic/Latino at UMDNJ-SOM (p. 73)
etc.

They are the exception, not the rule. the average appears to be 2%

So, what about this makes you worry? Are you insinuating there is some kind of prejudice on behalf of the schools?

I'm very curious to see what deviations are for these. I like how the MSAR lists 10th and 90th percentile for each school

 

[HalfListic]

They are the exception, not the rule. the average appears to be 2%

You appear to be pre-dental. Any thoughts on why you're here?

 

[SRNontrad]

So, what about this makes you worry? Are you insinuating there is some kind of prejudice on behalf of the schools?

Heh, nothing quite so sinister. I was thinking more along the lines of: Why aren't there more latino applicants?

The alleged URM boost should give a leg up and "should" increase the supply side of minority applicants, but it seems each year i peruse SDN the amount of applicants/matriculated remains relatively unchanged and even an increase is offset by more and more non-URM applicants applying/matriculating

 

[SRNontrad]

I am between DO and DDS.

 

[wjs010]

I am between DO and DDS.

why don't you kill 2 birds with one stone. I think nova has an DO/DMD program

 

[SRNontrad]

why don't you kill 2 birds with one stone. I think nova has an DO/DMD program

Do they actually???

 

[superfan56]

why don't you kill 2 birds with one stone. I think nova has an DO/DMD program

you'd make so much money!

 

[selttiks288]

Do they actually???

Yup it's a six year program.

 

[SRNontrad]

you'd make so much money!

lol. Believe it or not I don't want to be a physician or a dentist for the purpose of making money, It will come with anything you do. I also am not altogether altruistic. I want to do something of substance and DO or DDS/DMD is pretty much the only thing I can see myself happily doing.

Shadowed both and still on the fence!

 

[SRNontrad]

Yup it's a six year program.

Just saw the curriculum. Its crazy. I wouldn't be competitive just based on my gpa. 3.63 doesnt get you into advanced programs.

 

[selttiks288]

I'm not sure how competitive it is. They didn't talk about it very much at my interview.

 

[SRNontrad]

I'm not sure how competitive it is. They didn't talk about it very much at my interview.

Appreciate the info. I will be calling them tomorrow before work and find out more. I wonder what the scope of a DO/DMD is....so many possibilities!

I heard this data is outdated.

 

[TriagePreMed]

I heard this data is outdated.

You heard wrong. I collected all this data from school websites and what they said was the class that entered last year.

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

I heard this data is outdated.

No, this data is actually pretty up to date.

 

[timmaycakes]

Appreciate the info. I will be calling them tomorrow before work and find out more. I wonder what the scope of a DO/DMD is....so many possibilities!

I've also heard that US dentists who go on to do a residency as a maxillofacial surgery also are granted the MD degree if their residency is 6 years. (4 yrs residency, 2 yrs MD training)

This is an example of one such program.

Solid necro bump. More importantly, why didn't I apply DO the first time? Might have saved two years of my life...oh well.

I've also heard that US dentists who go on to do a residency as a maxillofacial surgery also are granted the MD degree if their residency is 6 years. (4 yrs residency, 2 yrs MD training)

This is an example of one such program.

They all obtain an MD. The way the pathway works is that they do dental school and then get their DDS or DMD after 4 years, then they get accepted to a Maxo residency, do 2 years of clinical rotations at a medical school and get awarded a MD. Then finally they get graduate training in Maxo.
