Not a current student, but an applicant who has been weighing this decision very heavily as well. While I don't want my future to be held back because of my degree, I also don't want to attend a school that doesn't support it's students at the administrative level and where current students are actively saying bad things. I think I will end up going to OU in the end because nearly everyone I have talked to about the program has nothing bad to say, and I feel going DO truly only hinders the super competitive residencies such as derm, rad onc, etc which are nearly just as impossible to match in if we go to a lower tier MD school. Also, OU has a partnership with the Cleveland Clinic, which is amazing because it is nearly unheard for a DO program to be affiliated with a top hospital like Cleveland Clinic. At the end of the day, to me at least, my quality of training, location, mentorship/career development opportunities, tuition costs, and support at the administrative level outweigh the small possibility of going into a hyper-competitive residency that won't look at DO students (and being honest, I am not sure I want to go into a field of medicine that is objectively and openly biased against osteopathic training). This is just my thought process though and there really aren't any wrong choices IMO.
