I'm getting kind of sick of my friends asking me why I am applying to DO schools with a decent MCAT score and then assume it's because I have a low GPA. I do have a low GPA, but that's not why I am applying both MD and DO. My family doctor is an MD but whenever she's out, the DO doctor sees me and he's just as great a doctor. The fact is that plenty of 30+ MCAT people apply to DO schools. I am worried that DO school adcoms might also think that I'm applying to their programs as backup for MD schools because of my low GPA and screen me out. I honestly would love to attend DMU, especially after seeing their international rotations for 4th years. A few friends are also in PNWU and if they love it there, I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy that school as well. Applying to both MD and DO programs shouldn't be a problem if they ask, right?
