So I know most deadlines aren't until February, but by just sending in my AACOMAS now, is it beginning to get a little late in the cycle?

I ate lunch with an MS1 two days ago who didn't send in any of her applications until Jan-March and had no problems securing interviews. It's only October right now -- if your stats are decent I think you should be fine?? Sorry that probably didn't help much but just try to stay positive during these difficult months, it's hard, I know.
D.O. schools typically have later interviews compared to M.D. schools. Not sure why. It's just what I've noticed. I wouldn't worry at all.
Because all osteo applicants apply to allo programs as well.
A good percentage of the osteo applicants are those that were initially waiting for allo interviews before sending in their osteo secondaries. Still, DO programs begin their interview season the same time MD programs do.
Uhhh... that's not true at all. I purposefully chose to apply to only osteos & I am sure there are many others who did this as well. I could have applied to allos if I wanted & my father is even an M.D. It's not just a "back-up"... it's a philosophy and way of practicing medicine.

I would bet that a very big majority of people apply to both.
Yes. Attending my state MD schools will save me (on average) about 100k total vs. attending any DO program. And that is my honest answer when asked the - "Are you also applying to MD schools" question.
