Thank you for the citations, Rose. Some of this information is quite old. You are correct in stating that GPA and MCAT scores are lower though. I did some research (current data) on this awhile back since we have an Osteopathic medical school about ten minutes from my house. I think, however, that entrance is only a part of the experience. You would probably gain more from the first couple years in either D.O. or an M.D. program than you did all of your years in undergrad. Also, you must factor in residency. I think by the time they come out both are going to be quite competent in their specialty.
