I deem you, most likely to be hated by classmates if accepted to medical school.

No such thing as safety DO schools. However the easiest are burrel and liberty com. All DO schools are hard to get into.

You know what buddy, I'll PM you when I get my acceptance 😉

But seriously, what are the easiest DO schools to get accepted to? Is there any ranking by MCAT/GPA/acceptance rate?

Generally the older schools are harder to get into. Also lots of schools have biases for students from their state. This is more true for state schools. So schools like msucom / oucom / Tcom are difficult to get info if you aren't from there. To a lesser extent rowan/ wvsom also have biases. Some private schools also have biases. Pcom ga /pacnw/kycom/wcucom seem to fit that bill.

Besides that the older schools tend to get more applications and are harder to get into. Also schools in more desirable locations seem to be harder to get into. KCUMB/ DMU / CCOM / PCOM pa (most applications) are among the more difficult schools to get into. UNECOM/Westernu/ Touro CA/NY(they love hugh mcat)/nova/nyit/ state schools are also very difficult to get into.

The other schools mostly are a bit easier but still difficult to get into (Vcom/acom/Lecom/mucom/rvu/ burrel/ lucom/Pcom ga/ kycom / wcucom / Touro NV / atsu soma/ cusom etc)

To give you an idea, at my school:

> 5000 apps
~500 interviews
~200-250 accepts
Matriculate ~100

Final rate ~2%....same as Harvard's. Yes, I know it's not the same pool of applicants!

 

[asdf123g]

Im surprised this didnt turn out to be a subtle LUCOM hate thread!

 

[trev5150]

How does one join a forum, make 149 posts and get banned 5 days later? Can someone check to see if thats a record?

Ah...excited for this cycle's turnout. Have fun Goro. 😉

 

[Goro]

LUCOM's old news. Besides, there';s always CNu to rag on now.

Former banned poster, trying yet again. This time he managed to stay more rational. Usually the loose cannons can't hold it in.

Just wait for his return on a new account. I would not be surprised if he did.

I got a very interesting PM from him a couple days ago.

 

[Goro]

I actually received some very reasonable and rationale PMs from him as well.

Care to share?

If I posted it verbatim I would probably be put on probation!

Can we get a hall pass for this?

 

[Goro]

OK, you really piqued my interest...PM me!

[Goro]

The Dawg was kind enough to share, and it was, well, illuminating as to OP's pathology.

PM it to me as well please.

 

[ChrisMack390]

The correct answer to this is the newer schools, especially if you are in the correct geographic area, right? Not sure why everyone got so angry.

Easiest =/= easy.

You just replied to a banned account. That "banned" avatar isn't just some kooky cheeky humor thing.

 

[SchoolboyQ]

Lol I didnd't realize he was banned. Could someone post what he said to get banned or PM me?

 

[trev5150]

That's not what the OP got the ban hammer for. Other crimes were committed in other threads.

Speaking of kooky cheeky humor, I think I'll do that 😛

@trev5150 it's Cognitate himself. He's trolling again.

 

[SchoolboyQ]

Lol paranoid much @kenjixshadow? I'm surprised a pre-med forum would be filled with spammers....

 

[Goro]

Troll trolling himself. That's novel, even for SDN!

 

[yanks26dmb]

What are the three easiest DO schools to get in?

Three hardest?

I got rejected without II from my four safety/easy schools.

I got II (and a couple acceptances) from my four "reach"/hard schools.

Explain that. Oh. That's right, you can't because nothing in this process makes sense.

I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a joke or not, I always kinda assumed those people were using the "banned" image on purpose to show what rebels they were!

 

[ortnakas]

If a non-troll is reading this: the newer schools are likely easier to get into, due to lower generally lower averages and slightly less interest, but as @ChrisMack390 said, "Easiest =/= easy." Sometimes the internet gets the idea that DO schools are a breeze to get into, and as Goro's school's numbers would indicate, that's simply not true. Sure, maybe we're not Harvard, but we're not Greendale Community College either (my apologies if that's actually a real place outside the TV show).
