I understand the impact that the following situation has on other applicants so please don't flame me for apparent selfishness.
I've been accepted to two DO schools and I am having trouble deciding which school to go to. I need more time to make a better informed decision. I don't expect to take toooo long to do my homework, but I am grappling with the dilemma whether to pay a deposit at two schools, essentially accepting two acceptances.
Does anyone know if there is a predetermined date on which I am supposed to make a final decision?
Sorry if this seems petty but this is a life-changing decision!

For some reason, May 15th sticks out in my mind as the deadline. Best to check w/ the schools.

Usually there are two deposits....Dec 15 and March 15. After these two deadlines there is a final, final date which you can only have one medical school - I do believe it is May 15 (you can check for sure). I am 95% certain there is a final date in which you can only hold onto one acceptance .

If you have been accepted, don't they tell you in your acceptance package what the deadlines are? Maybe take a better look at your letters.

I did, and there are deadlines for when deposits are due. There are no stated dealines for when I have to make a final decision on one school.
