Is a DO a waste of time when it comes to getting accepted to a residency?

I will be starting my 3rd year rotations soon. I know my OMM exposure will be very limited during my core rotations. Do you have any suggestions on ways to keep up and further my skills during this year? Are there any OMM books that you would recommend that are not just technique manuals?
Off topic question - Sidebending or rotational emphasis for cervical hvla: In your opinion, is one better than the other? Your personal preference? ( Feel free to ignore this last question if you want. I’m just curious. )
Thanks again!
. I see what you’re asking. I did more rotation, but i did both. I didn’t like turning people’s heads so far for rotation thrusts the way it was taught... so I started teaching a variant using more sidebending localization to lock out the vertebrae before a gentle and short rotation thrust (before I switched over to fascial hvla). When I teach hvla to people who are rusty or really green I help them make the simple lock out rotation bit work before they get fancy with it. Relaxing the hands is like 75% of doing hvla right.After following different docs in clinic, they seem to only stick with one emphasis in practice. This is just my observation. Personally, I prefer sidebending. It’s just easier for me to localize that way. I believe the majority prefer rotation though.
I’ve recently seen the NBOME advertising the “CORRE” for residency programs with osteopathic recognition. I imagine this is mainly meant for MD applicants. Will Residency programs ever require a DO student to take this exam?
