Not trying to start a flame war or anything- just really curious.
Why do DO schools have lower avg gpa/mcat scores than MD schools? Also, often on the what are my chances threads, some people say others are "lethal" for MD schools, yet competitive for DO schools- is there really that much of a difference in terms of stats? If there is, why?
I know DO schools produce great physicians too- but I just don't get why there is the discrepancy.
Thanks
