The intent of this post is help Canadian Applicants make educated choices to which DO programs they should apply to. I will list the Canadian friendly school followed by my thoughts as to what the admissions committee values.
AZCOM- Very Canadian friendly. MCAT 27 and over (however I was interviewed), GPA not as important. Interview was pretty easy going. Overall, I liked the school.
NOVA- MCAT 27 + and as a result did not get a chance to interview in 2 application cycles
Western (Pomona)-GPA over MCAT, was offered interview but withdrew
KCUMB-GPA over MCAT. They seem to interview a lot of people.
LMU DCOM- MCAT/GPA about equal. Ave stats will get an interview. Wanted to go but admitted to MSU.
UNECOM/LECOM/AT STILL kirksville - Probably will admit Canadians only if stats are much higher than their average matriculant.
TouroCom NY- Really only look at MCAT Bio. GPA can be average. My interview was a little more stressful than others as they kept focusing on my career change.
CCOM- MCAT emphasized. 27+
MSU-By far the best choice for Canadians to apply to; especially with the new Canadian Initiative Program. Seem to evaluate the total application. Interviews not mandatory.
