I have a very specific question: what would you choose between UQ-OSCHNER AUSTRALIA OR WESTERN POMONA D.O?

I am a at a crossroads, I have no interviews other than the ones i received ^ so MD schools seem to be out of the way and I am trying to focus on my end goal of becoming a doctor. which would you choose between the UQ-OSCHNER MD ROUTE or the WesternU pomona DO school?
Please assist as I want my degree to be recognized worldwide and in the United States (Where I will be practicing most likely)

my gpa: 3.7
spa: 3.66
masters gpa: 3.67
mcat score : 505

Why don't you ask this after you've gotten your acceptance letter?

I don't know much about Australian schools but I've seen the general concensus being that if you want to practice in the US, it's best to go to a school in the US (DO or MD).

Where did you apply(MD)? It's only September you have a couple of months before you should start worrying. Your MCAT is lowish but if you picked the right schools and have the appropriate ECs I don't think you should make a decision yet.

 

[SterlingMaloryArcher]

Just wondering, is your MCAT the same MCAT we take in the US?

Oh my wooooooord that's a lot of schools.

Unless you are from California there is really no reason to apply to but one UC if and only if your background, as demonstrated by your application, strongly coaligns with that UC's mission.

Your GPA isn't bad I don't know why you didn't just take an extra couple months to study for a second MCAT attempt rather than wasting money applying to everything from UVA to Carribean schools.

Looks like you'll get into at least 1 US DO school why would you consider an Austrailian DO school?

This isn't adding up...

 

[drabberbadge]

The Australian school isn't a DO school, it is an MD school.It is the OSCHNER Program. I am a re applicant and it is actually my third mcat , my first two were 497. I graduated in 2016 from my masters and am eager to get started.

What do you all suggest choosing UQ-OSCHNER in Australia (MD) or Western Pomona COMP DO?
I have interviews for NSU, LECOM, ACOM ,Rocky Vista
ALL D.O. but would UQ OSCHNER be a better choice?

UQ-Oschner. They presented at my postbacc and from what I remember you do rotations in the states for about half of it and it shouldn't be that hard to come back. good luck!!
