Hi guys,
Until recently I was going to apply to all MD schools. This was mainly due to my lack of DO exposure until around May of this year. Sounds weird, but I live in Montana and their aren't too many DOs walking around.
Anyhow, I have taken a considerable amount of interest and now am finishing up the required steps to pursue DO school, as I am currently finally shadowing a DO physician.
I am not real worried on my competitiveness based on my GPA, MCAT, ECs, and application, but more curious about my timing.
I just submitted my primary about a week ago and it sounds like I won't get this bad boy approved until around the 20th of August, give or take a week.
I will also aim to fire off my secondaries within a week of their receipt. So I will probably have everything submitted around the first to second week of September.
Is this pretty dang late in the current cycle? I only ask as everyone on these threads seem to be a month ahead of me. Again, I'm not worried about my resume, etc. Just more curious to how my timing will affect my competitiveness. Anybody?
EDIT: I'm applying to NYCOM, CCOM Midwestern, PCOM (Philly), DMUCOM, UNECOM, Western COM, NSUCOM, MSUCOM
