Wow you all are the biggest bunch of self deprecating losers I have ever seen. I can tell the OP wasn't trolling and the fact all you low lifes make fun of the stereotypical views towards DOs and call OP a troll reveal your insecurities about the DO degree. Lets just face it you all are part of the 95% that use DO as an alternative route towards practicing medicine because you cannot be accepted to e MD program (the other 5% being those non-trads with a reason to stay intown with a DO program), guess what nobody cares except for yourselves. The secret shame that you all feel towards yourself oozes out of every single post that you make. MAN am I glad my grades are good because if I did have to consider DO I would hate the fact that my colleagues / peers hang their heads in shame over it.
I make this post with no malintentions. I sincerely hope all of you one day accept that your academic shortcomings can be overlooked and that you all have the chance to become excellent physicians. For future record, I would like to see you all provide genuine advice to posters instead of calling anyone who asks about what a DO is a troll (excuse them for not having researched every aspect of an obscure professional degree that hides itself behind a veil of additional training with debatable clinical significance that is, for the most part, never used like you all have, you must understand that they have no need to arm themselves with a vast array of knowledge to field the many things that their grandparents will say when they ask why they arent an MD)

Lol, did this guy really post this? Let's break down the OP's post for you so you can understand.

I am a sophomore and after my first semesteer i decided to give up on becoming an MD. I keep getting B's in my science courses and right now have a 3.3 GPA.
Before we even look at these sentences, let's look at the OP's post history. Oh wait, there is none. First time poster. Ok ok, not deal breaking, but suspicious. First sentence: Sophomore in college, giving up on MD. Wow, that's kind of early to be giving up on your dreams of becoming an MD. You can still salvage a low GPA since there's still two more years of college left!
Second sentence: Keep getting B's (hey, B's aren't bad!) and 3.3 GPA. A 3.3 GPA is no where NEAR danger zone for MD applicants. Yes it can be a little bit higher, but like I said, two more years of school left to get it up. At this point, the OP starts saying they want to go DO because obviously they think that DO medical school is much easier than MD medical school and those Bs in the pre-req sciences are ok right? Wrong. DO medical school is still medical school and still hard as f~ck.
Lastly, the hallmark of a troll: The obvious "can DO's be [insert specialty]?"
Face it DrEr, you got trolllolololed.
p.s. when people post troll posts in Pre-Osteo, we troll back with stupid things like janitorial degrees and OD vs DO. It's just what we do. Don't hate.
