I am applying to both MD and DO schools, and my school's premed committee does not do separate letter packets, so MD schools will also get my DO letter.
I have two options in this case:
1) Have my school send the DO letter to both DO and MD schools. This option is less stressful and will not cost me anything.
2) Have the DO letter be sent only to DO schools (my preference). For this option though, I will have to set up an Interfolio account and probably spend $150+ just so the MD schools don't get the letter.
Which option should I choose? Will MD schools be turned off from my application if they see a DO letter, especially if the DO will letter will say something like "Student X is a great fit for osteopathic schools since he seemed to be very interested in osteopathic philosophy" or something to that effect?
