You're half right. I have a 32 on my MCAT but my gpa was a 3.4 so I couldn't get into an M.D. school and now I'm in a D.O. school. Stuff happens in undergrad you can't fix, so rest easy now and think yourself superior to me because you got into an M.D. school. Unfortunately for you, there's still that U.S.M.L.E step 1 where I can demonstrate that I'm a lot smarter than you and take your spot at an M.D. residency. You think I'm headed to primary care? You're funny. :)

@mosquitopa Thank you. I think this person also forgets the hollistic approach to medicine that D.O. has in place. This DOES leak into admissions as well. If you see PCOM numbers, they had about 4,000 applicants. I'm sure getting a class with an average of 3.7/32 MCAT wouldn't be a challenge. Instead, they've admitted a number of students from multiple backgrounds that don't necessarily scream "top pre-med" by their grades.

@CitizenofDystopia according to most recent AAMC and AACOM data the mean MCAT is 26.48 for DO matriculants vs 31.1 for MD matriculants. Who cares that you take the COMLEX? Nobody else teaches OMM, so why take a board exam that includes it?? Like I said DO's receive excellent training and become great physicians. But 9 times out of 10 there is a reason you are in DO school. But there is a shortage of primary care docs (FP, OB, Peds, ER, IM, etc.) so more power to all the DO programs...we need em

I agree with every word of your post!

@dtrack22 DO's are required to take the COMLEX. When you have to take both tests, come back and talk to the Osteopathic students. Currently, the average for DO school is 3.48 and 27, while for MD it's 3.58 and 29.5. That to me doesn't sound like great difference. Wait 10 more years as the Caribbean option closes and the DO stigma is almost non-existent and you'll see about the same averages.

DO's are not required to use OMM in their practice.

@whtlghtn49 If you had to go through the stress of applying yourself, you wouldn't be saying that shit. My GPA is respectable (3.6) and my MCAT is 34R and there's a very good chance I won't get into MD this year. If not, I'm perfectly fine with DO. It's just as hard to get into DO school now as it was MD school 20+ years ago. Someone with my stats back then would've been a shoe in.
