Which programs will accept just COMLEX?

Which programs will accept just COMLEX?

You're best bet is to contact the programs individually. Each has their own thoughts and these can change yearly.

if its not too late, i'd take the USMLE and not limit your chances.👍

I don't know if any of them are that "friendly" (just because they may not be as aware of how to correlate the COMLEX to the USMLE). That being said, I think Loyola looks at DOs. Other programs in Chicago may as well, but I'm not as familiar with them.

although not in Illinois, MCW requires USMLE >200.

Does loyola or Masonic require usmle??

take the USMLE. step I and II.

more programs will be "DO friendly" if you do. i got interviews at loyola, UIC, rush, and uchicago when i was interviewing 2 years ago. northwestern at that time was notoriously anti-DO back then, not sure if it has changed.

I interviewed at 6 of the 7 programs in Illinois two years ago. Cook County only seems to take FMG's. Go figure. Anyhow, I did take USMLE step I, and I recommend all DO's do the same.

All of them are D.O. friendly.
