I really struggled in the Trig and Calc required for my degree. However, I also took a lot of health science classes for another career.
For this reason, my AACOMAS science GPA is a lot higher than my AMCAS science GPA (3.8 vs 3.4) as a result of the difference in definitions of what is and is not a science class. It just makes sense for me to apply solely DO, particularly given the increase in med school competitiveness.
I always thought I would want to be a pediatrician or family physician, but I am getting more and more interested in Diagnostic Radiology as an option. No interest in IR. Similar to primary care, the wide knowledge base really appeals to me.
I saw a post from a Radiology PD on their specialty forum saying they try not to take DOs because it will make US seniors think the program had trouble filling in recent cycles.
How doable is DR as a DO? Is this particular PD's program representative of the whole?
Thank you!
