First and foremost, take a deep breath. You'll be good. Don't psyc yourself out, focus on your MCAT!
In terms of the DO letter, you could use an MD one as a replacement, have you shadowed an MD?
What does your app look like? GPA, MCAT (what are you aiming for), EC's. Will give us a better idea of whether or not you'll be competitive applying a bit later in the cycle.
I'm writing my MCAT in 2 weeks, and my letters are gonna come in mid-July.
Submit your AACOMAS asap with your transcripts, extracurriculars and personal statement included. As long as you have specified the person that will be writing the letter, they can submit it after your primary. Your ideal goal is to have your letter done around the time you submit your secondary.
I'm fairly new here but this is what I've been getting from people. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I dont want to be misleading.
Hello everyone!
I was wondering if submitting a letter from DO after August would be okay for application cycle.
I am graduating in about two weeks and will be taking a gap year. I am planning to shadow a DO for about 20-30 hours and ask for a letter. Should I first clarify that I would be asking for a letter before the first shadowing?
Though it's not related, but I was also wondering when is considered "late" for the DO school application cycle. I will be taking the MCAT on 6/30, and have not completed AACOMAS yet. Should submit my AACOMAS first before/waiting for my scores?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time to read my post!
