DO Application Timeline

I have browsed all the previous threads regarding the AACOMAS application timeline and the consensus seems to be Thanksgiving is the general cutoff to becoming a late applicant for the cycle.

But is it truly still okay to send in a primary for verification in mid-September?

Obviously, it isn't early in the cycle anymore, but it feels late in the game already. At this point, if one were to receive interviews, it would be scheduled somewhere from January-March 2019. After checking the school-specific threads from previous years, it seems the majority of students interviewed around January-March were interviewing for waitlist spots if I'm not mistaken.

Would it be better off to apply earlier next cycle or is it still relatively safe to apply this cycle with a wide enough net of schools?

Yes.

It would all depend on your stats right now whether you would want to give it a shot now or next year.
