I submitted my primary last week. Gathering all the letters and preparing for the MCAT (2 weeks) has stressed the hell out of me. I read on a few of the websites for the schools about the secondary questions. The ones that ask about why you want to be an osteopathic physician or why you want to practice osteopathic medicine. When I try to answer this question I feel sick to my stomach because I have no truthful answer, I don't care about osteopathic medicine or OMT, I just want to be a doctor. Unfortunately I have been told this well keep you out.
I do not want to start my medical career with a lie and I am getting stressed out at the beginning I can only imagine how bad the rest of it could be. I don't know if I can handle being marginalized for the rest of my life because I chose osteopathic medicine and not being good enough for MD school. My stats are not impressive enough to go to an MD school, so I was thinking if I should do a masters?
Please do not take this as offensive to osteopathic physicians or DOs, as my favorite physician is a DO. This is a weakness in me and I was wondering if anybody else felt this way. Any insight is appreciated.
