so maybe someone did this already but I'm curious...if you only applied to DO schools, how many did you apply to? anyone apply to less than 5? or all of them?

I've applied to 6 DO schools for now.
If things get ugly I may add a few in the next month or so...

 

[Trevelyan]

I applied to 17 schools, 8 DO and 9 MD. I would prefer to go to a DO school.

So when people say withdraw do they mean they just didn't return the secondary? Probably a stupid question, but I'm curious 🙂

 

[sj786]

12 DO schools

 

[medschoolsoon]

Lucky number 13 for me, but withdrew from 1, and by withdrew, yeah, I didn't return the secondary.

It means that on my AACOMAS I added their school, they sent me a secondary, and I chose not to send back the secondary. Therefore, My application is no longer considered at that school.

Gotcha! And thanks for the information 🙂

I'm guessing the withdrew--> "didn't return the secondary" was directed towards me 😉 Thank you for the clarification. 👍

1 school. 1 Admission. PCOM. That was 4 years ago though. Things may be different now.

 

[Testy McAterson]

7 DO--includes my first choice
4 MD--includes my wallet's first choice

I only apply to 3 DO (AZCOM, PCOM and KCOM). Do you guys think it is not enough? I just do not want to waist money. Those are the schools i am most interested in and would definatelly attend if i receive acceptance. I am still not so sure about the other schools.
What do you think?

 

[OnMyWayThere]

I applied to ALL.

Anytime🙂

 

[albaniandoc]

I applied to a total of 15 schools.
So far, 7 interviews that are coming up next month and in October. I have contacted the other schools and they have not started contacting their applicants yet, so I have no idea what's going to happen next month. So far I have interviews at almost all of my top choices (except for maybe 2).
I applied to a lot of schools for the fact that I felt insecure. Now I see that I should have applied to less, but still do not regret applying to this many.

I only applied to 3 schools (VCOM, CCOM and KCOM). I know when your numbers are low it is best to apply to broadly, but I can't afford it. If I don't get in, I will retake the MCAT and then apply to more schools next year.
