Will a pre-D.O. student who shadows a M.D. have problems gaining acceptance to a D.O. Medical School?

Who's going to write you the letter of rec? If it's the MD, then that's no problem.

no, no, no, and NO. And if it did cause you problems, would you want to go to that med school?

I shadowed an MD (general surgeon) before I even knew i was Pre-DO...he wrote me my recs, and I got in.


:-D Stop worrying!
 
No worrying here; I'm trying to get into dental school. I was just wondering. Thx. 😉
