Regretting DO route?

[Ho0v-man]

I think you misread my post. I referenced 2 Residents, who hadn't auditioned at our program, but came from big name med schools. They were both idiots and presented behavior issues nearly every day. We would have spotted them easily had they spent time with us. Of note, they came.with good LORs. Clearly the home program didn't want them there, just wanted them to go elsewhere.

I didn’t misread and I don’t want to derail. But you’re speaking of the benefit of auditions from the program side. I’m speaking from the applicant side.

What you’ve provided is an example of how an audition can hurt you if you have a good app otherwise. It would have hurt those applicants.

Furthermore, I think med students aren’t great at introspection. So it’s hard to tell if you’re a student who would crush an audition or just be meh.
