<p>Does anyone have a list of BS/DO programs? I've looked all over the internet, done a search and could only find a couple. I have a 3.9 UW and 30 ACT, so are there any I'd have a shot at?</p>
<p>By the way, I'm not someone looking for a shortcut by doing DO. I'm actually interested in its philosophy and applying for that reason.</p>
<p>oh and can you suggest some dental programs as well? I'm trying to decide between dentistry, medicine, consulting, and engineering management as careers (I know its a lot, but yeah), and so even dental programs might end up being useful.</p>
<p>The only ones I know of are Pacific, and Upenn's thing through a few undergrad schools, so yeah. And for Pacific, do they have other requirements to stay in because the website doesn't make it clear at all whether or not they do.</p>
<p>Pitzer has one. (I think) BA/DO</p>
<p>i will be attending Pitzer's 7 year BS/DO program this fall. Definitely if you need any more info, i will be here to answer you question. </p>
<p>there are couple more BS/DO programs
-NYIT/ NYCOM
-University of the Sciences in Philadelphia/PCOM</p>
<p>I know Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, FL has one</p>
<p>I was wondering how hard it is to get into DO schools anyway?
Is it just as competitive as medical schools?</p>
<p>Well for one thing DO schools are medical schools. If you ask if its as competitive as allopathic schools - depends. I would just say medical schools in general are tough- seeing how almost everyone in the beginning of college call themselves "Pre-Med". Personally, just keep in mind that regardless of which medical school you end up going - md or DO, you will have to work your butt off to get into a good residency and your desired specialty you want.</p>
<p>california_love8,</p>
<p>You are way too over the map to be ready for a fast track program. I would avoid them, simply because you don't seem to know exactly what you want.</p>
<p>yeah you're probably right UCLAri. I think given how much I've been shifting, its probably not really worth committing myself right now. But still do post it for others, even if I might not end up using it, there are plenty of other people that are looking for these that had as much trouble as I did.</p>
<p>my advice would go shadow a doctor, dentist, pharmacist, and health management proposal first. See if you like any one in particular and then apply to the programs.</p>
<p>just my 2 Cents</p>
<p>Michigan State University has a BS/DO program.</p>
<p>IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology)</p>
<p>Medicine</p>
<p>With dual admission programs in medicine and osteopathic medicine, as well a very successful pre-medical studies plan, students interested in medical careers can start at IIT and continue on to some of the top medical schools in the country.</p>
