Any of you guys considered Osteopathic Medicine. Is your dream to become that "Orthopedic surgeon" or "Radiologist", or is your dream to become an "M.D". If your final goals are to be a physician an Osteopathic Degree will get you there as well, and seeing that you are getting interviews at allopathic schools, you should have a decent shot at osteopathic schools as well. There is no reason to give up just yet. Good Luck
I have and I actually like the osteopathic philosophy of holistic medicine much more than the (at times!) I'm-a-soldier-battling-disease-and-your-body-is-my-battle-ground mentality of allopathy but my hang up is...the stigma. Am I proud that I don't have the conviction to go against the grain? No. But...it is what it is and at times, life is poopy.
