So, aside an apart from this year where it seems that application numbers are down and regular admission standards may slightly differ, I would love to understand the notion that podiatry school is a cake walk in terms of acceptance.
Of course, relative to an MD school, admission is a bit easier, but I know of quite a few people, personally, who were quite surprised to find that they had been rejected from DPM programs...the same programs they thought would have been a good "backup."
People make it seem like as long as you at least attempted the MCAT and have above a 2.5GPA, you're "golden," but I don't think its that simple for a lot of people.
