I am applying for MD medical schools along with DO schools, and my letter writers have already submitted their letters into interfolio. Should I tell them to change certain things in the letter now that I want to use them for DO schools? I mean even if they referenced in the letter how "I would excel in medical school" that shouldn't be a problem or anything right unless they specifically mention MD Medical school, which they have no reason to.
Just want to make sure i'm not overlooking anything using the same letters.
Thanks
PS. How vital is DO shadowing experience + DO LORs? I have shadowing experience of MDs, is it fair to still say in my personal statement that I want to be a doctor because of these experiences? I mean as a DO you can still practice medicine in more or less the same way (if you so choose to I know you can just practice osteopathic medicine). I am still working on trying to find a DO to shadow of course.
