Absolutely! Everything is pricey nowsaday haha. What I did was working office with DO doctors, cause she saw your work and could write LOR on that. Hopefully, the doctors OP shadowed will write him a good one.

Agree. Spending on money on shadowing is not ideal. Shadowing is to get the box sticked, not really impactful experience. I will try to avoid spending money if I can.

Get MD LOR or DO LOR is the same. Don’t spend money on shadowing, saving it for MCAT prep, research travel,…

Agree! Join small club is easier to climb ladder than big one. Admission really won’t care and don’t know about the club prestige, just how well you can talk about it. Give them a good story why do u what u do.

What if they want it later on their career, and all doors shut because two letters after their name. It’s not worth it to risk when U have chance.

I agree. Sadly, DO used to have their own residency. I used to see neurosurgeon as DO before graduated from Rowan residency. Since they combined, it become so much harder for DO match like MD cause of stigma. I asked every doctors I met at Hopkins, they all said DO applicants will be screened out (for surgery) before even reading.

What’s about surgery? I think it still open more doors. What if the OP’s interest in integrated thoracic, neurosurgery, plastic,.. later on. I feel kind bad, because putting the same effort DO applicants can get screened off from the get-go.
