I thought NYU was very anti-DO?

So looking at this match list here -

There are 2 people going to NYU, one in PMR and the other in Pathology. The reason this strikes me as odd is because I thought that NYU was strongly anti-DO. Am I incorrect in thinking this, or is this another sign of changing sentiment?

Well to be fair PM&R is probably the most DO friendly field and pathology is not an extremely competitive field. So matching into top programs is definitely possible as a DO. I am not familiar with how NYU selects candidates, but I definitely feel it is within the realm of possibility to match there if it is either of these fields.

Well, what I meant by anti-DO was in the sense that they automatically throw out any DO applicants, regardless of which field or how qualified they are.

Those specialties aren't that "competitive" and are more open to DOs. Internal med at NYU, however, explicitly states on their website that they do not take DOs. There aren't DOs in the majority of the specialties at top NYC programs.

Yep that's completely true.
10. Do you accept Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine graduates?

We are sorry, but we do not accept Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine graduates.

Won't see any DO's in surgery, IM, or rad onc at NYP (Weill/Columbia) either.

What is very interesting is to see that Sloan Kettering Memorial Dedicates a whole page to OMT: http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/patient-education/resources/osteopathic-manipulative-treatment-omt

I'm not aware of any of the (true) university programs in NYC that take DO's. And with LIJ aligning itself with Hofstra now, I've heard that NYCOM has felt the squeeze.
