Any benefit to attending interviews after acceptance?

I am very grateful to have an acceptance at one of my top programs. Since then, I've gotten a couple II from DO programs. I've been turning some of them down, as I dont see myself there & dont want to waste anybody's time. My mom has been encouraging me to attend all interviews I get for 1) practice 2) see if they offer me any money. But, I would feel bad utilizing interviews solely for practice / my own gain. Idk.

My question is -- do DO schools often offer lots of financial aid? I've been considering going to my in state DO interviews at a minimum, but even then I dont think I'd attend, so I circle back to not wanting to waste everyones time...

Any thoughts on this? Thanks guys.

Your acceptance is to Quinnipiac, right? I would attend MD interviews only at this point. I have not heard of DO schools offering significant aid + MD is going to keep more doors open than DO will.

Thanks clashy. Yeah, its Quinnipiac.

That's what my gut was telling me. Sounds good, I'll decline the DO offers I have / withdraw 😱

You have an offer in hand. The game rules now favor you. Don't feel sad about that.
