I've been considering applying to D.O. schools, but many people tell me that if I plan on getting into a competitive MD residency program (dermatology, plastic surgery, neurosurgery, etc.), I don't have a chance as a D.O. Obviously, there are always exceptions but how common is it for a D.O. to take the USMLE, and do well enough to get one of these competitive residencies? Thanks.
