can you just report your scores please? haha i don't feel like having to look those up.

what about sGPA and cGPA?
shadowing?

Many people say just about anyone has a chance at LECOM.

No shadowing.

11 VR, 11 BS, 9 PS

I was under the impression that LECOM is one of the top DO schools, but until recently I've only heard of Tuoro so not surprised that I may be mistaken.

No shadowing? how do you know this is what you even want to do if you've never seen it in person?

there will be a map of DO schools, and list them all out and give a lot of stats. However, it doesn't give GPA/MCAT.

Refer here for GPA/MCAT stats (click on the schools websites and try looking through their stuff to find an official report)
http://www.aacom.org/about/colleges/Pages/default.aspx

Otherwise, I know there are documents that float around periodically in the DO forum that give unofficial reports of average GPA/MCAT/etc


==edit==
i have attached an unofficial report of schools

I've spent a lot of time in hospitals. This is off topic though, just trying to get a feel for my chances.

I've only recently started looking at DO schools. Thanks for the resources!

Thanks to JDMcNugent, the MCAT and GPA avgs for LECOM and the Touros are:

Touro-Ca: 3.47/3.40/30.1
LECOM-B: 3.50/3.40/28
TUNCOM: ?/28
LECOM-E/SH: 3.48/3.35/27
I thought Touro-NY was on the list, but I believe that they like high MCATs and their avg MCAT score for matriculants is ~30. Hmmm, I don't have LECOM as well. Hopefully @user3 or @JDMcNugent can update us?


OP, being in hospitals a lot is not the same thing as knowing what a doctor's day is like, and DO schools want you to have a MD or DO LOR. Some require DO LORs.

I don't know anything about LECOM but Touro NY and CA seem to salivate over any applicant with an MCAT over 30 and don't really care about gpa as long as it's over a 3.2-3.3. I suspect Touro Middletown is somewhere around 26ish for average but I would imagine they won't publish that number and will only display the Harlem averages which are probably close to 31 MCAT.

I concur.
