Hello,
So I am applying to DO schools this upcoming cycle. I am filing out the application and every single piece is all falling into right places except for a DO office that I reached out on April 26th Friday to see if I can shadow a DO doctor. I worked closely with an MD who wrote me a great letter, so I reached out to her and see if there is any DO she knew. She gave me this DO's contact, I emailed her, and her office manager reached out and said she'd ask the DO doctor what time/date best works for her. Last Wed, I reached out (after waiting three business days...I know) to see if they had a chance to pick up a date (just one full day for shadowing). The lady said they're just waiting to pick a date where there's a few OMT patients. And at that, "I was like wow that'd be amazing" AND THAT WAS LAST WEEK! I don't know why it's taking them so long to pick a date. I want to shadow a DO, get a letter and then apply soon!!! Does anybody know how I should approach this?! When do you think I can reach out again? I mean I am bothering these people for my gain, so I don't want to be so pushy but I HOPE SHE'S NOT GHOSTING ME
