Im pursuing my nursing BSN with the intent to go to med school after (MD or DO) do osteopathic medical schools have a good chance at matching with cardiology ? My current doctor is a DO in psychiatry and thats my second choice but i just wanted some info, also are there any DO schools that dont require pre reqs apart from the MCAT?
