Hello everyone, I submitted my primary around June/July and due to a LOR delay from my DO, I just became complete to schools last week. I applied to 9 DOs. Am I on the late side of things or do I have a decent shot? I'm just worried that due to this delay, I may have lost a significant chance at gaining interviews. ~3.5 cGPA, ~3.5 sGPA, 1st MCAT 28--> 2nd MCAT 33. Thanks!

You are fine. You have pretty good stats for even the top tier DO programs. You may have lost a little bit of advantage by not applying early, but there's nothing you can do about it now, so just sit and relax and wait for the II.

Which DO schools did you apply to?

I think you are a tad bit late but there is nothing you can do. Your stats are pretty good but I do think maybe you should consider applying to more than 9 schools. It is better to apply more broadly IMO
