DO Traffic Rules

[Futuremed54321]

Hi Everyone!

I understand that MD programs under AMCAS have their own set of traffic rules, however do DO programs have their own similar dates? Specifically I’m curious until when one can hold multiple DO acceptances. The language on their webpage (AACOMAS Traffic Guidelines) seems to indicate May 15th but it remains rather unclear. Can multiple DO acceptances be held after the 15th and if so until when?

I had one acceptance for months and received another recently off waitlist and am unsure on how to handle the situation. I was thinking about paying the second deposit and taking time to come to a decision, however I fear that one or both programs may dislike myself holding the multiple acceptances.

Thanks you all for your help in advance!

This is a common question and was recently asked in a thread that can still be found on the 1st page of this forum (Pre-DO). See the discussion here:

May 15

Hi everyone, Just had a quick question regarding the May 15 deadline. Do students have to withdraw their other A’s prior to May 15? Or will the other schools email them to do it/pay their deposit within a certain time frame before their acceptances are rescinded? Thanks!

Hiii, I just wanted to clarify these rules.
pplicants will be asked to submit necessary matriculation documents, including a deposit, according to the following AACOMAS traffic guideline schedule:

• Those accepted prior to November 15 will have until December 14.

I know this is what it says, so technically if accepted now in September I have 3 months to decide to accept or put down a deposit? Do some schools set up their own rules?

The traffic rules are guidelines that are agreed upon by admissions officers. Your commitment and tuition deposit deadline should not occur before December 14.

If this is not what your are told, let me know via conversation message (ideally with documentation).
