I'm applying DO for the first time this cycle after an okay MD cycle last year that resulted in 2 waitlists but no acceptance. I've shadowed 2 MD's for a combined 25 hours (1 cardiologist, 1 surgeon). I live in a fairy small town, and don't have access to many DO's. I've tried using what connections I have in the area, but it's not looking good.
How important is DO shadowing/ a DO LOR for my application to be successful? I have a prehealth committee LOR right now. My top choices are PCOM and LECOM. cGPA 3.88, MCAT 505. Thanks!
