Nice to see you help students… thats very great of you. Wanted to see your research and opinion on DO vs MD, there are guaranteed DO programs as well.
Here is the message … i posted on another thread… copied here…
==============
This is what i told one of the “prospective students”
To begin with … it’s newer than MD so it will take time.
First difference is “perception”. Many bigger institution/hospitals have 1/2 to 20/30 MD… which means opportunities more for MD
Second reputation
Third “international” opportunities
And finally as you may have noticed… the bar for MD (is higher w.r.t. grades/cutoffs) than DO … so it’s relative comparisons too.
As someone suggested , many DOs do select Primary care in residency (and profession)
Is it fair… may not be … but IMO that’s what it is. (The closest real life example, i can give is… Bill Gates was a dropout but was successful than many MBAs but still many MBAs get recognized than dropouts… hope this make sense)
I will still choose DO
(if someone is deadbeat on becoming a Doctor) but you got to be prepared for it.
Sorry , i don’t know … why some stuff are in “bigger or brighter”…
Didn’t mean to Yell/rude… no idea.
I wish they allow messages to be edited…
Thank you.
so it could come out tomorrow
Not sure… may be thursday?
UMKC interviews came out. But the portal does not have the links to choose the date of interview.

I got the email too, but you have to go to the ba/md application website and upload a picture of yourself before you can pick a day.
No email for me yet…
