I dual applied MD/DO this past cycle and have recently matriculated at a well-respected osteopathic program. Within the last week, I also received an acceptance off of the WL at a middle tier allopathic program within my state.
I am very torn at which direction I should go. I've put together a pros/cons list and have been trying to get advice from everyone I know.
Tuition would come to be about the same, with the allopathic school having the edge. However I feel extremely comfortable where I'm at currently, and have already settled down and made great friends, etc...
I guess my biggest qualm is how will the merger in 2020 effect residency positions for DO's if at all..? And will I actually be closing doors to my career if I continue on here? I also am fairly sure I do not want to do primary care, but really have no idea what I'd like to specialize in at this point. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated
