Ask yourself why you want to be in medicine, what drives you to pursue it and what you expect to get out of it. Then do your research on Osteopathic medicine. It will serve you well to know what you are applying for. Many students apply to DO schools as a fallback to not getting into MD schools and then suffer for 4 years because it's not what they thought it would be. I also think there are many MDs that, had they known more about Osteopathy, would have gone the DO route. I did my research and found that Osteopathy was exactly what I wanted and decided to not stress myself out applying to MD schools (different types of interviews, different types of applications, more money lost). As a result...i love my school and what they have to offer! I knew exactly what I wanted and let them know it in my interview. If you know yourself and are truly honest and sincere (with both the school and yourself), you will end up at the right school for you. Either direction will hand you a degree, it's up to you to decide what to do with it! Good luck in applying and if you have any more questions about DO or my school, let me know. Oh...I'm at the school that would allow only MD LORs. The experience you had with your doctor far outweighs the initials (in my opinion! ;-) )
God Bless!
