    DO friendly programs?

    I apologize. Didn't mean to offend anyone. I'm trying to apply wide and broad and I wanted to maximize my chances. I didn't want to apply some place that's not going to give me a chance and end up wasting my money and time.

    I agree with you SCIronMike. This is why I'm convinced that Mikdoc is a high school student. He just doesn't understand that prestige as a goal will not help you in med school. R.

    aacom is very politically biased, very discriminative!

    This topic probably belongs to the lounge section. I don't know about the rest of you, but I agree with the author of the thread. I am an osteopathic student and I want nothing but the best for all of my DO colleague's. We are professionals and AACOM is a professional organization...

    WesternU/COMP class of 2006

    I am also in ISAC. There are 34 students. a typical day involves 2-3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab and a one our discussion. it's tough but at the same time it's fun. it has been a good experience so far (three days into ISAC). cool professors, t.a.'s and, of course, cool classmates.
