I was accepted to VCOM with a DO letter - I didn't know any DO's so I called one in the area and before I could get halfway through my explanation he said, "When do you need the letter?" HAHA!!!

As people on SDN know said:I agree. I asked as many DO I can find in Phone book and online. But nobody allowed me to do that. Finally now I am shadowing one MD. she is such a nice person and a doctor. She told me that I can shadow her as long as I can and she will write a recommendation letter. I am going to apply without a DO letter. Won't apply to some like Nova which stricly needs a recommendation from DO.
