Did I apply too late, or do I have a chance?

Do I have a shot at an A with my late application? My AACOMAS got verified on 11/25 and transmitted to 15 schools and I have been submitting secondaries as I receive them within 2-3 days (12/15 done so far). My cGPA is a 3.56 (3.9 GPA for spring '24 and should be getting 3.9 GPA this semester as well which would bring cGPA to a 3.6) and my MCAT is a 508. Shadowed and worked with a DO but no DO letter. TX Resident.

Any reason why apps are down and do you expect this trend to continue? Is this also something that mostly affects the new DO schools vs the more established ones?

You should receive several interviews with your stats.

We're hitting the end of a demographic bulge.

And yes, the newer schools are hit much worse than the established schools. The former having trouble even filling their classes, and I've heard that several of them have sent acceptance offers to people they previously rejected!
