Does anyone know if it is okay to hold onto an acceptance from a DO program at the same time as an acceptance from an MD program? Or is this not really allowed? (before the middle of May)

no rules against it....just don't hold one or the other if you know theres no chance you'd go to it....again its not illegal..just kind of unfair to others who may be on the waitlist at the one you'd rather not go to
I did. It's no different than holding onto multiple acceptances. Just remember to drop by May 15th. Not sure if DO schools have this problem but MD schools prefer that you drop all but one by then. And no, no one found out my little 'secret'. In fact, I was pulled off one school's waitlist in June after I had held onto and then dropped multiple MD/DO acceptances.
Thanks for the responses! I definitely won't hold onto any acceptances that I have if I'm not going to attend there-- I'm just thinking about how the process works if you do get so lucky! Do MD programs require a heafty deposit once you accept like the DO programs do? When in the best time to submit your primary for DO if you are applying to MD also?
Also, do you guys have an idea of what sort of range of MCAT score is considered for California DO schools?

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't an accepted student have to apply for financial aid in the spring before the student matriculates? If so, wouldn't holding multiple acceptances cause a snag somewhere in the financial aid pipeline?
