Is there an equivalent book for osteopathic schools? (I went through two old threads and the links they provided were outdated).

I've been looking as well, but havent been able to find anything concrete.

The best thing to use (although I'm not sure how accurate) is the princeton review website

It's called the Osteopathic Medical College Information Book by AACOM

http://www.aacom.org/resources/bookstore/cib/Pages/default.aspx

you can download the pdf

Thank you my friend!

No prob! It has an awesome description of all the schools and such. Also, it's kinda hard to find if you're not quite sure what to call it 😉

thanks for that post. that is an awesome resource. but maybe I'm missing something because it doesn't have average MCAT/GPA data for individual schools. on the school specific pages it just says stuff like "typically successful applicants have an MCAT score above 22 and GPA above 3.2".

is there anywhere to find that kind of specific data like in found in the MSAR?

You're right, the AACOM book doesn't list this info. Hokie06 made a summary of all the DO programs MCAT / GPA stats compiled from various sources, but it hasn't been updated since 02/2009:

Homework for somebody with free time?

Yes the book can be downloaded for free in pdf from the above link that a previous poster posted, but the actual book itself is only ~12$ so I bought it. It is somewhat disappointing that it doesn't have as much info as the MSAR such as stats, and GPA/MCAT averages, etc.

A lot of times if you go on the specific schools homepage they have a current student profile which will list the current class avg MCAT score and GPA or if you look under the FAQs section...you might have to dig around for it, but you'll probably find it

Many of the schools have "student profiles" for past classes that you can look up on their websites.
