Hi,

I was about to buy the MSAR book today but noticed that there are no DO schools listed.. Are there any suggestions in regards to books with DO school profiles.. in which I should purchase?

Thanks!

I know that Touro NV & MI screen for min. gpa and MCAT as do AZCOM and CCOM. I also think that in some profiles on the AACOM website it is stated if the school has minimum gpa and MCAT requirements. Search through some old post and you will probably find the info for all the schools...

There are no published info on this. You can search SDN.

It would be nice if the information is condensed though. Searching for that could take months.

You're right, it's hard to search for that stuff. I would suggest just looking over the titles in the last few pages of threads. Many people are applying now, and I've seen this question around several times in the last couple of weeks.

Off the top of my head, I think DMU requires a minimum of a 3.0 to receive a secondary, and OSU requires a 24? on the MCAT (there's some state legislative rule about minimum MCAT scores). As a rule, most schools (both allopathic and osteopathic) don't do much in the way of pre-secondary screening, so you'll probably get secondaries from almost everywhere.

I know it's not what you're looking for, but US News has data about admissions for almost all the osteopathic schools. I think it's data can be a little more useful than the MSAR anyway because the MSAR just tells you the number of people who matriculate at a school, not the number of people accepted. Consequently, it makes schools seem even more competitive than they are.
