May 15th is when you can only hold 1 MD acceptance.

But what about holding one MD and one DO acceptance? Is there a deadline when you need to give one up? The two application systems are different so I don't think either would know about the other acceptance. Any rules from AACOMAS about this?


(No need to reply with the "give them up because I am waiting to get off the waitlist" replies)
 
For MD schools, we all know it's May 15th but for DO it is probably school specific. I am in the same boat and I know PCOM asks for a $ 2K deposit :meanie: by april 15th. Anyway, don't delay making a decision because you do not want to lose both bread and basket :smack:.
