Do Osteopathic schools usually accept an update or additional letter of recommendation after secondary submission but prior to an interview decision? I recently submitted a secondary to my top choice DO school and I would really like to update them with a letter of recommendation from one of their alumni. I only submitted an MD letter as my physician letter so far. Would appreciate some advice, especially from an adcom / faculty

It might move the needle at my school, especially if you have a letter recommendation from a DO
Thanks for the reply, so it would be fine to contact the school a few days after submitting their secondary with a question pertaining to the proper way of adding a letter prior to a interview decision?
