DO friendly programs in Texas?

[frodohobo]

I'm aware of Tech and UTSW not being very DO friendly in general, but which Texas programs are pretty open to DOs? I'm interested in UT Houston, Dell, Scott & White.

Also, would a COMLEX between 450-500 be good enough for allopathic peds?

You might want to start looking at the 2016 "Charting Outcomes in the Match" for osteopathic applicants. Follow this link:

Go to page 102. A D.O. pediatrics applicant with a COMLEX between 451 and 500 U.S. had an 85% chance (53/62) of matching across the U.S. The mean COMLEX I score for matched applicants was 550.
You should also look at the composition of the resident classes at some of the Texas programs.

There are a fair number of D.O.s at all of these programs but I think you need to think about scoring higher than 550 on the COMLEX to get a slot at any of these places.
