Okay, so I currently have one DO acceptance. I have one last interview this week, which should give me my decision back pretty quickly. If I were to be accepted, do I then have until May 15 to pick between those schools? What if the second school were to accept me to one of their campuses but WL me at the campus I prefer? I'm assuming that still counts as an acceptance and I would have to decide by May 15 potentially without finding out about the campus WL?

And then I'm also on an MD waitlist, does this impact the DO schools at all in terms of holding acceptances and such? Like if I were to be accepted to the MD school in late May, would there be a time limit for me to turn down the DO schools or no because AAMC and AACOM are completely separate? Sorry for so many questions, just getting a little anxious over here haha

1. Your acceptance and deposit at a DO school does not affect your MD acceptances at all.
2. Being on the WL at a school does not count as an acceptance. You can put a deposit down on the school you have been accepted to and still be able to take the acceptance and put down a deposit on the school that waitlisted you should they choose to accept you later after the May 15 deadline. You just don't get your deposit back from the first school. I know this from personal experience.
3. If the school you are going to interview at accepts you, you need to decide between the two acceptances you have before May 15 (or two weeks after you get the decision should you have to wait a while).

Best of luck with your interview and future decision making!

Just don’t expect a deposit back if you bail, the point of them is to make it cost you something to walk away
