After going doing some research for both allo and osteo paths, I think Im starting to like DO. I was all about allo and nothing else, and take no offense, I thought DO was a pour substitute for an MD, although my premed advisor said that MDs and DOs are the same it's just the approach that is different.
After checking out this forum and doing a little googling as well as looking on the AACOM website I'm beginning to like DO more and more. I like the idea of treating the body as a whole and doing more prevention and awareness more than anything else.
I'm starting the whole application process next June but I am in the process of completing everything for my application, e.g LOR's, PS, and volunteering. I had intended on apply to 15 schools in total, 10 allo and 5 DO... but after reading this forum and really liking the idea of practicing as a DO that might change. Don't get me wrong, I still like allo schools, I am just now a little more accepting to the idea of being a DO.
Thanks SDN for opening my eyes!
