A quick search led me nowhere. This topic seems to bring out lots of fighting, and I honestly don't know why. In order to keep this civil, I'm just going to go ahead and make a poll. I'm honestly interested in this topic as the new cycle approaches.

If i had to rank those options in real life frequencies:

low mcat > low gpa > location > interest

Also, yep, to posters above.
 
To learn how to crack backs brah!!
 
I believe they are going to DO schools to be doctors but I'm not sure.
 
OMM is a good excuse to fondle hot chicks.
 
Why don't you post this poll in the DO forum if you are genuinely interested in why people go to DO schools?

inb4 useless poll considering for many people it is a combination of poll options
inb4 poll to which the answer is painfully obvious and beaten to death on these boards daily


Edit: oh **** I'm too late.
 
Why is being "inb4" so funny? I don't get it. Because you saw a thread before it gets locked? Congrats?

I don't know why, but I find this hard to believe for some reason.

Well because gay baby eating schools of medicine got shut down in the 18th century leading to A.T Still's passion and subsequent death by leeches and mercury injections by the AMA for our malpractice. He then subsequently became possessed by Belzabub and went on to start an army and then defeated the witch burning society of Iowa in a glorious bloody battle leading to a massive change in our society called stonewall. Oh then the fire nation attacked.
Then basically it went all down hill from there and now we're all gay and on fire, but we still have the weed.

But that wasn't enough the ghost of A.T still, he needed more so he opened the first school of osteopathic medicine in Britian, which was a mistake because he was a ghost and ghosts don't know geography well. So then 50 years ago he teleported the osteopathic medical schools to the US and launched his armies at the AMA winning DO's rights to practice voodoo.
And ever since then we've had gay pride and more and more people wanting to become DO's.
Do you understand? Or would you like me to repeat that all over again? Yes/ No

You accidentally pick yes, so I repeat my entire story again. Hoot hoot.

It's interesting but for me it was a matter of where I felt the most comfortable and welcome. I was accepted at both MD and DO schools and went to MSU-COM and haven't regretted one minute. I remember how I felt like a number at my allopathic interviews but a human at my osteopathic interviews. Maybe it was a perception, right or wrong, but it led me to the DO world and I love it. Nothing to do with grades or mcats for me just a feeling :)

This is at least as plausible as Scientology.

I didn't know Pat Robertson had an SDN account.
 
Q: Why do people go to DO schools?

A: Because they want to be doctors. :eek: (shocking isn't it)
 
I dont think this thread went the direction OP planned. Lol

The real question being asked here is why do people attend DO schools versus MD schools. While there are those who buy into the idea of Osteopathic medicine wholeheartedly, the vast majority of people go to DO schools because it is less competitive and you still have the opportunity to get a residency and practice medicine after graduating. Most people I've talked to who are in the process of applying look at their DO choices as "backup" schools. I haven't talked to many people who prefer the DO to MD route.

Just going off my personal observations, nothing against DO pals.

Hey premeds,
My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, ******ed, no-lifes who spend every second of their day making fun of DOs. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten a 45T? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to your sub 3.0 GPA transcript.
Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than “jack off to backside attacks in O-chem”? I also get straight A’s, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; **** was SO cash). You are all DO haters who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

Groupthink humor is possibly the most insufferable thing about the internet. People do it "satirically," but it doesn't make it any less sheepish.
