I have been fortunate enough to be accepted into an osteopathic medical school in California. It is close to my family which is of critical importance because both my mother and brother suffer from severe mental illnesses and I am one of their primary caretakers so it is important I am close to them. Recently however, for financial reasons, my family is moving to North Carolina and I am very saddened because I know its important for me to be close to my family for their well being. I looked up some medical schools in North Carolina and the ones that seems to fit my stats(MSAR as reference) is Eastern Carolina University (Brody) which is an MD schools and happens to be closest to where my family is looking to move. I have read that in order to transfer medical schools there must be a compelling reason to transfer and I believe my reasoning is sufficient. I also know that Eastern Carolina University SOM considers transfers. How likely will an MD schools accept DO transfers? Any anecdotes of a DO student successfully transferring to an MD school? Any insight will greatly be appreciated.
