hi guys
I am getting rejected from a lot of md schools. what the hell...
I need to apply to DO schools quick. I have read the DO schools manual and it says fee waivers are limited and given out on a first come first served basis.
1. can i send my tax info by email, or it has to be by mail?
2. is it too late to get a fee waiver? will i definitely be rejected?
 
you're the guy who applied to albany, huh.

you're not going to get a fee waiver. they're in even shorter supply with AACOMAS than they are for AAMC. mail is the only way.

just gotta man up and pay the fees if you want to go DO.

When is the earliest to apply for fee waivers? I'm going to apply next cycle, should I start trying to get accepted for fee waivers now?

I would assume May is the earliest since that's when the AACOMAS opens up for the new cycle.. but don't quote me on that.

There is not going to be a wavier at this point, also know that it only covers a handful of schools (not like MD). You can apply at the start of the application cycle (May/June) next year and get a wavier if you qualify.
