Why is it that I've been seeing more and more threads saying that to be competitive at a DO program that you need a score of a 506+? The average matriculant for DO schools is 502 according to data published by the AACOM for the class starting this fall. I understand that a higher score can only help, but is there something I'm missing? Maybe I don't get it, but for an example, I feel as though if someone were to be applying with a 503 assuming all other metrics were fine that they'd have a pretty good shot at getting in, that doesn't seem to be the common thoughts around here though.
