does anyone have other plans if they don't get accepted to DO schools? I haven't heard anything yet, so I was thinking of doing a Post Bacc program. I've heard of a university in Michigan that has a post bacc for students interested in osteopathy. Is this true? Does anyone know the name of the college?

I am actually in the same boat. I have already applied to one post-bacc program at LECOM and a certificate program at Eastern Virginia Medical College. However, I am debating whether or not I should pursue the post-bacc program vs. taking my MCAT again (since i scored poorly). This is my first applying to medical school and maybe I should apply one more time before going the post-bacc route. I also applied for a one-year fellowship at NIH doing research. I have been waitlisted at NYCOM but I cant put all my eggs in one basket. Any other suggestions?
