I will be applying this cycle and unfortunately I have zero DO shadowing. I heard that osteopathic schools mandate shadowing or strongly recommend it but I have not shadowed any DOs. the only clinical experience I have is scribing for an internist for over a year (aside from ER volunteering, and school/clinical research, pharmacy job). How likely am I to get through without DO experience? would learning about them via online and admission presentation be reasonably sufficient to show them that I have knowledge about DO?
My extracurriculars are very solid (teaching, leadership, volunteering, research, etc) (my publication/presentation won't be done until end of July). I don't have an MCAT score yet as it is scheduled for mid june but i took my first full length and got a 503, I'm confident I can improve with the month i have left.
3.8 cGPA and 3.75+ sGPA
will the lack of DO shadowing negatively impact my application? which schools do you think I can get into
