The problem is that there is no list for DO schools. The OP and everyone else applying needs to contact the schools for their stats and decide for themselves.
Yeah, those stats above are pretty old. I agree with you that you would choose a school based on them. I think that decision comes after you interview and take into account many factors.
These stats may be useful for determining whether you are a competitive candidate for these schools (keeping in mind that these anumbers do not guarantee you will or won't be accepted -- in other words, a grain of salt please...)
For residency match lists, which I think is a better tool than admissions stats for deciding where you want to go in addition to other factors (cost, personal feelings, locations, family needs, financial aid offered, etc), the schools have to be investigated separately. The web site above has the url's for all these (and other) schools, and the original poster can inquire via email or phone call (if the school does not post them on the web).
Good luck in the applications process, folks!
