My sgpa/cgpa are ~3.2 mcat ~505, but the problem is I don't have a DO letter. I was able to shadow a DO once for a day and have a lot of friends who are in DO schools and from them I have some knowledge of OMM but I wasn't able to see it in practice. A lot of the secondaries I am getting are asking for experience with Osteopathic medicine and I can only give a simplified answer since the DO physician I shadowed said she doesn't use OMM and does the same thing as MDs. I have an MD letter, but I'm not sure if I'm competitive at schools in my area right now. Do I have a chance at DMU or CCOM with my stats? I think I otherwise have decent EC's.
Also a friend of mine told me to get a DO letter and apply later in the cycle but I'm not sure if it will hurt my chances since I think I need to apply early because my stats aren't very good.
Edit: I am still sending out primaries pretty broadly, but if anyone has suggestions to add/remove from this list I would greatly appreciate it.
DMU
CCOM
Edit 2: Privacy reasons, also got accepted for future reference
