Michigan State: applying to both programs

[DAKAZA]

Would it be a stupid idea to apply to Michigan State's MD and DO programs at the same time?

Everyone I know did it, and I know people who got into both programs. Go for it.

No.

Cool, I was worried because it seems like DO schools want to know that you prefer DO and I thought they could find out that you applied to their MD school as well.

Why not?!

I actually did apply to both, got into DO and rejected post interview from MD...it was suggested to me that I may have been looked at less favorably (and suggested by someone who works in admissions...) after my MD interview because there is some sharing of knowledge if you have been accepted to one or the other already...don't know if it's true, but just food for thought. I was rejected post interview, btw, from the MD, which MSU claims they really don't do unless someone grossly misrepresents themselves. Good luck, they are both great schools!

Do it. I did and was accepted to both.
