Hi everyone!
You all seem very knowledgeable about applying to Osteopathic schools and the programs so I'm requesting some advice from you all.
Right off the bat...here are my stats:
Graduated UCLA 2001
Presently attending UCLA School of Public Health for my Masters in PH
Cum GPA 3.4
Science GPA 3.1
Huge upward trend
MCAT 7v 9p 11b=27s
research/ ECs/ lots of passion! )
I presented these stats to allopathic and they were very discouraging about my chances in getting in. I looked into Osteopathic and the program seems very appealing. I don't care about the letters that appear after my name. All I have a passion for is to treat patients and work with people in enhancing their quality of life and health status.
Honestly, do I have a chance of getting into an osteopathic school. I'm a CA resident so which schools are best to apply to? And what are the admissions committees looking for? What types of ECs do they prefer? How do I go about this...is the process similar to allopathic?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys and good luck in all your aspirations.
