I just finished 1st year at RVU and have been getting some very good questions via PM. Feel free to either post here or PM with any questions you might have. I've only got a few things going on this summer, so I should be available to get some quick answers.
 
Do you recommending changing your PS and making it aligned more with the DO principles? I'm having enough troubles cutting to get to the appropriate length, let alone focusing on DO

I'd say it is very important to align your PS to osteopathy, but I'd do a paragraph of that at most.
