Im in desparate need of good, constructive advice.
First off, i just finished my fifth quarter of chiropractic school, and am regretting my decision of ever going into it. I find almost all of the chiropractors i have ever encountered to be dishonest, decietful, and selfish. The name of the game in this profession is patient visits. Keep them coming back, and who cares if they are getting well or not. Try to keep them as patients for the rest of their lives. The few honest ones i have met are trying to figure ways out of this profession.
I am very interested in DO school, but there are many blemishes on my academic record. In undergrad i had a 3.0 overall with a 2.48 scigpa. In that, I had a few W's, a D+, and an F. In chiro school I only have a 2.9.
I know that I have a grueling road ahead of me to get to where I want to go, but i just want to know if I have a legitimate shot at getting into DO school for Fall 2001 if I
do great in post-bacc and do good on the MCAT, from now till then.
What impresses me most about DO's is that they tend to look at the person as a whole, rather than just treating a symptom. Chiropractors claim that they do also, but they are not educated or competent enough to the extent that a DO is to find out if a person is in grave danger.
All success stories, advice welcome.
Thank you,
