Is it too late? I am a MD reapplicant with high scores, boxes checked but no luck last cycle. Wondering if I should try a few DO schools this cycle. If not too late, when is too late?

The docycle is longer than md, and so this is still very early in the process.

You can apply up until thanksgiving, and maybe into december, and you will still be fine for being competitive.
