i recently got accepted to PCOM biomedical program and is still debating whether the program is right for me. I have concerns mainly because PCOM is an osteopathic schoo. Even though they clearified on their website stating that the biomed program is a general program (not specifically for DOs), but about 90% of the students who did well, went on to apply for DO schoo. I would like to keep my options open, ie, eventually i still want to apply for MD schools. Will coming from a DO post bac affect my application towards allopathic schools? If yes, will it be positive or negative?

i'm really confused and need as much imputs as possible. Any input will be great 🙂 Thanks.

before applying to the program i called several MD admissions programs and they all said it was okay to do this type of program at DO school
