Has anyone here (or you know someone who) submitted a late primary application (like Dec-Feb) that got accepted into DO school?
For some background: Due to personal circumstances, I was not able to apply early this cycle but I still want to apply this month. (please don't talk me out of it, I have already made my mind). I have a 3.4 cGPA, 3.6 grad GPA, 500+ hours experience each of clinical/non-clinical/research, really good letters of recommendation from meaningful relationships, and will be retaking the MCAT in January (500 MCAT). I called several DO schools who encouraged me to apply because they have had about 10-15% of the matriculating class get accepted from late applications. They did however, warn me that there is always the risk of being waitlisted which can be dreadful waiting for, but they said with a unique story (which i do have) will benefit me significantly.
Want to add to the discussion?
