Hey everyone,

Currently applying to 16 MD and 12 DO programs and have submitted my primaries June 1st, and just received my first secondary from CCOM, which I submitted today, two days later. My concern is that I will be backpacking through Europe for 70 days starting July 22nd and won't be back in the States until September 30th. To anyone that has had previous experience, if say I get an interview request while I'm in Europe, would they give me possible dates and times for the earliest interview/allow me to schedule an interview once I'm back? I'm sure I could communicate with them about me being abroad but just thought I'd ask!
 
Interviewing after September 30th won't affect your chances for DO schools. There will still be open seats until November/December for many schools.

It will affect your chances for MD schools.
