What are your practice scores thus far? If you're scoring near your target score (28-31), I would submit right now. Also, I would advise against applying to ALL 28 DO schools (unless you have some red flags that have not been mentioned). Considering secondary app fees, you're wasting your money; cut the list of DO schools in half (even that's too much). Some schools are regional-heavy in their selection of applicants (would you want to pay for Michigan's OOS tuition or agree to OUCOM's contract?). Take the time to look at the schools you're applying to - don't throw money at the problem because you don't want to put the time in to think about it. Good luck!
Thanks for the feedback, and I obviously haven't done my homework right, since I had no idea about he OUCOM contract till now!! There are no red flags except the GPA. I'm hitting the 27-28 mark on the mcat practice test and I still have two months of studying so I'm confident I will get a good score. and I have ALOT EC's/research/Clinicals. Do you have specific reason why you advice against applying to a lot of school besides financial reasons (and regional selectivity)! To be honost with you I would rather spend the money and get in than not applying to all I can and regret it later?
thanks again for responding, I didn't expect anyone to be up at 4am (at least my time zone) haha
