Are you a 4th year? If so I would recommend applying ASAP broadly to AOA EM programs, probably every program. Your chances at ACGME are slim but if you have stellar SLOE's and apply to every program you will probably get some interviews.

ACGME is going to be tough, no idea on AOA. Id just apply to a crap ton of programs.

It's a red flag going down on comlex 2, but not a huge one. I would recommend trying to do at least 2 away rotations at AOA programs, which can make up for a below average comlex if they like you and you work your butt off. Acgme is going to be tough, but not impossible if you apply very broadly and get 2 great SLOE letters.
basically everyone went down on comlex 2 this year, they fudged up the grading system..most people went down 50 -150, im happy i only went down less than 20 at this point..hopefully program directors notice this

I just heard that from someone else.. How did that happen? Not that I'm surprised at the nbome screwing something up, but just wondered.

When do you anticipate that will be complete and md's could apply to traditionally DO programs?

It's going to be a while, and I don't see all AOA programs making it unless acgme lowers their standards.
From what I remember all transition must be complete by 2020
I know a few programs already getting pre-approval to be accredited by this coming summer
They probably wont all make it, But all the decent and great ones will
