What percentage of people applying to DO schools have science degrees?

[armymedico]

I was wondering if anybody knew or knew where to look. I found something that gave the info for Allopathic schools:

but nothing for osteopathic ones

I don't know about applying, but if you see the publication by AACOMAS, it seems most DO schools have anywhere from 80 to 95% of students with a science degree.

That PDF contains virtually every statistic you could want.

Yeah, I saw the CIB stats, but that gives the percentage of matriculants with science degrees, I was looking for how many total science degrees applied like the stats the AAMC gives. I've looked all through the CIB and the AACOM website, does this information even exist?
