In your opinion, is December far too late to submit DO applications?

I've seen differing opinions on this. Is December way too late to submit DO apps? Would it be best to just wait for the upcoming cycle instead?

Nah, it’s still doable because of how DO app and interview process work (rolling). Of course, the sooner the better, but it’s not like the rat race to submit first like MD application

Wait till the following cycle. That is too late more likely than not at most schools.

I consider it too late.

I too think it is late. You want interviews as early as possible. If you submit in December, you might be waiting until Jan or later to get an interview. For some schools that might be a interview for the WL spot since they might be full by then. Better to wait for next cycle and submit early.

I agree. In terms of timing, save your money, get your app in order, and apply early in May.
