Hey guys,

I'm applying to both DO and MD programs and am leaning more and more towards DO. I am using Interfolio to manage my letters of rec and just realized that they all have my AAMC# on them! Will that be bad when the letter gets to a DO school? How bad? Getting the letters over again and uploaded onto interfolio would be a bit of a headache.
 
I know it's a hassle, but I would not send letters with AAMC#'s to DO schools. If they have to know you're applying to allopathic as well, let them find out at the interview rather than before you get selected for one. I had to explain my reasons for applying to both at my interview.
