You shut your dirty Saban sucking mouth when you talk to me.

Come on you guys... Can't we just all get along?

Going to a DO school is like going to Auburn University. People are always going to ask you how the cows are doing.

OP, this is a valid thread and you shouldn't ever hesitate about asking questions on SDN. To this guy^, it's overwhelmingly evident that SDN has tragically devolved into a collection of "omg this has already been asked a million times so go away or search or...just plain leave." With the mission of eliminating redundancy posed ostensibly as your purpose, do you find it hypocritical at all to consistently retort with "this has already been covered"? I would argue that THIS response has, too, been covered countless times. So how about this: if you think the posted question has already been covered, maybe, just maybe, choose not to respond to it. Who's forcing you to reply? Who made it your paralyzingly painful prerogative to just HAVE to respond to all redundant posts? Lay off. SDN is rapdily crumbling at the hands of members refusing to contribute anything significant to this forum. There's a lot more I could say, but I'll hold off - at the expense of being redundant.

Who gives a flipping f***. Sometimes my friends say you should want better for yourself than a DO school or I am settling. These are people who tell me early on that they want to go to an ivy med school or Hopkins. They end up realizing that it takes more than good grades from a no name school to get into a top 20 and finally decide that a state school may be their only option after failing to get a 30+ after 2 or 3 tries on tries on the MCAT and realizing their ECs are subpar compared to those getting into elite schools. Either way I think most people have to settle for less then they intended to due to personal reasons (having to be in a certain location with family ..etc) or because they are just not good enough. Most people will never be the best. Once you make it into med school, you may have to settle for a less than ideal specialty or residency. Life is full of settling for something less than the best or the most ideal. I think some people need to get over it. Settling for a state school over Hopkins is the same settling for a DO school over a state MD school. Settling for a Family Practice residency over a Dermatology residency is same concept. I'd be happy going to any medical school that takes me whether it be a DO or MD school. My main goal is to be a physician either way.

I will never settle, as I am not satisfied with being a loser. I will only accept the best DO school I can get into!
