Is 6 letters of recommendation too much?

I was finishing up my application today and realized that AACOMAS does not let you select which letters to send unlike AMCAS. I know it is my mistake and I should have been more careful about their policy. Should I just submit with the 6 letters or does that look like overkill? I have 2 non science, 1 science, 1 research, 2 clinical (1 DO and 1 from work supervisior).

Submitting with 6 is just fine. DO programs will either read them all or filter out which ones they need. Some give you options of which ones they should read as well. I submitted with 6 as well. Applied to 12 programs, was interviewed at 6: waitlisted at 1, turned down another interview, accepted to 4.

It is quite a lot, but it's better than not having any/enough.
