Weak applicant if you apply to schools with DO programs and schools with MD programs?

Members do not see this ad.

Do you think that an applicant might appear weak to an admissions committee becuase he/she applied to some schools with DO programs and some schools with MD programs???

..only if they are a weak applicant... (which many probably are, just by the numbers)

But not just because they applied MD/DO.

The applications are separate too, so it would be tough for either to find out.

just out of curiousity, how about MD and DDS schools? Aslo can adcom somehow know that you applied into two different professions?

That sounds like a hard story to sell, as medicine and dentistry are pretty different. I would figure out which way you want to go and then put all your effort in one direction.
