You were given bad information. For DO schools you have the same requirements as MD schools, you MUST complete 90 hours of undergraduate work, 30 of which are upper division. You must also complete the pre-reqs.
The undergrad requirements (with the exception of a few Bachelor/grad combo schools) are the same. That rule is also more of a safety net for the few (very few) exceptions where people get in without 115+ credit hours.
I have been accepted at 3 schools, WVSOM, LECOM-Erie, LMU-DCOM all without a degree and with only 90 hrs. I am an older student, had very strong LORs, excellent EC, good gpa, and avg. MCAT. My advisor says I am only the 2nd person she has ever seen accepted early. It is possible! Good luck
