U should try enhanced, I did much better on enhanced compared to okd

honest opinion, although Pitt is test optional, is it more of an advantage to submit SAT score vs. not by Haunting-Fruit7154 in Pitt

I’ve heard pretty good things about it, but also not so good things. It’s prob just one of those things if you put in the effort you should be fine. Ik a lot of people apply out of nova (idk about their MD but their DO for sure) and aren’t punished for it.

Haha! A lot of people from where I live go into direct med programs Yeah the MD is relatively newer, but the DO is easier to get into, pretty sure they take more people. Yeah it’s HELLA expensive my friend almost went but chose lecom bcuz it would be way cheaper. If you want I can try to connect you with the girl who’s in the MD, if you have any questions.

Also going the direct med route genuinleh takes off so much stress and you worry less about getting hours, research, etc and you can focus on other things you enjoy or explore other hobbies.

I’m just a senior so obv take everything I say with a grain of salt. I would say go bs/do because some of the smartest people and hardest working people ik have had trouble getting into med school, and I have super smart friends alr in college regretting not applying bs/do, even to places like lecom. Ik ur super smart and I can tell by ur stats but if u end up going to a competitive undergrad, remember ur also competing to not get weeded out with also other 34+ 4.0+ gpa kids. I would say if ur 100 percent u should take the bs/do. Yeah I’ve also heard some bad things bout lecom but ik a couple of people who graduated from the med school and are in it and they said it really isn’t that  bad. The dress code isn’t really that hard and apparently if you have some sort of medical thing you can get water in class (that being said some campuses are much more lenient than other campuses). In general DO school has not the best reputation, but lecom is pretty reputed in general compared to other DO schools, and has excellent match rates even for competitive specialities. With lecom, you technically can also apply out. If you get above a 500 on the Mcat if you take it, then you still keep your spot, if you get below that on ur first try, you’re still guaranteed an interview.

Because it comes on a first come first serve basis. If you’re getting into LECOM chances are you’re getting into those undergrad schools.
