hey guys....i wanted to ask ur opinions on a couple of things...
first of all with regards to applications...all the schools received my secondaries...i have a good science professor reference....a very good academic advisor reference...and now i just completed doing rotations with 3 D.O.s simultaneously (took me a whole 3 weeks to complete) and they're currently facculty members at a D.O. school that i applied to, as they assured me they will send their letters.....now to be honest my marks r lower than most of u guys - and i'm not being humble..they r lower (although i was told by some that schools give consideration to level of course work and degree obtained)...i pulled a 25Q on the MCATs...not stellar by all means......here's a question...i asked my school's dean to write me a LOR and he agreed...but he doesn't know me at all...its gonna be based on my degree obtained and some stuff off my resume...so its very impersonal.....should i hold this off...or would this help bolster my file a bit.....i have very good EC..experience with people needing special needs (mentally disabled..visual impairments..ADD)..some experience with clinical research..and now sound exposure and understanding to the field...good reasons for choosing this field....but again the problem is in my gpa...its relatively low compared to the standards at most schools..(although im graduating with an Honors Bachelor of science)..so should i go ahead this dean's letter...or hold it off??
And also what other things i can do to help my situation a bit...i read and bought the DO's-osteopathic medicine in america...is there anythin else that u guys recommend....
Also...one last question....with regards to typical interview questions..i'd really love to hear ur opinions on this prominant one...."what do u do if u as a physician made a mistake with treating a patient...and do u tell him/her?"
thank u so much in advance...
